Second Position Loans

Many investors are locked into 3% or 4% interest rates on their mortgages and do not want to refinance the entire balance at today's higher rates. Our second position hard money loans allow you to tap the remaining equity in your property while leaving your first mortgage untouched.

This program provides short-term 2nd Trust Deeds for business purposes, allowing you to pull out cash to fund a new acquisition, renovate a property, or inject liquidity into your operations. If you need a 2nd mortgage on the home you live in for personal, family, or household reasons, see our owner-occupied 2nd mortgage program, which is a consumer-purpose loan with its own disclosures and underwriting requirements.

Frequently Asked Questions

What is CLTV?

Combined Loan-to-Value. It is the balance of your 1st mortgage PLUS the new 2nd mortgage, divided by the property value.

Why are rates higher on 2nd position loans?

Because the 1st mortgage gets paid first in the event of foreclosure, 2nd position loans carry more risk for the lender.

Does my 1st lender have to approve?

Usually no, unless there is a specific clause in your 1st mortgage preventing junior liens.

Is this loan exempt from consumer lending regulations?

This program is for business-purpose loans secured by investment property, which are generally exempt from consumer mortgage regulations like Dodd-Frank. That exemption applies only to business-purpose loans. Consumer-purpose 2nds on the home you live in are handled through our owner-occupied 2nd mortgage program, with the additional disclosures those loans require.

Can I get a 2nd on my primary residence?

Yes, through our separate owner-occupied 2nd mortgage program. That is a consumer-purpose loan with its own disclosures and underwriting requirements, and our team walks you through them.

How fast can a 2nd close?

Typically within 7 to 10 days, similar to our 1st position loans.
