Second Mortgage Mississauga
Currently, as Canada’s sixth largest real estate market, Mississauga is a diverse city with well-known neighbourhoods, transit, shopping centers and attractions. Even as prices have continued to increase, there has been an influx in sales activity making the need for second mortgages quite popular among residents of the city. For Mississauga residents, some of the most common purposes of a second mortgage include; renovating as a strategy to sell, additional financing to help close their purchase, and unexpected expenses that need to be cleared/consolidated.
What is a Second Mortgage?
A second mortgage is a mortgage registered behind an already existing mortgage (first mortgage) by either the same or a different lending institution. A second mortgage can be provided by a well-known bank/lending institution, or in more complex situations, through a private lender in Mississauga. Since a second mortgage counts as anything collaterally registered in second position, this can include both Home Equity Line of Credit and Fixed Second Mortgages. In almost all cases, a second mortgage is the quickest and easiest way for Mississauga residents to obtain equity from their homes, regardless of the reason. Second mortgages can are often much more favorable than borrowing money or carrying balances from expensive, unsecured sources.
For example:
A resident of Mississauga who owns their home had approximately $300,000 in available equity. Their bank refused to give them additional money and their credit was suffering due to high interest credit card debt, lack of cash flow and there was the imminent threat of a lien from CRA for personal tax arrears. From the second mortgage of $100,000 which we arranged for them, they were able to pay off all debt (including a car loan), clear the CRA arrears and increase cash flow by close to $800/month.
