You can check it by asking your lender whether you have equity or not. BTW, how long have you taken the mortgage? You can get approved for second mortgage if you have fair amount of equity. You can ask you lender and see if he can approve you for second mortgage. To know more about second mortgage check out this article at http://www.mortgagefit.com/second-mortgage.html Feel free to ask if you have any further questions. Best of luck, Larry

However, if you have good credit, there's still some hope. By the way, may I know what's your primary purpose behind going for a second mtge? I'm asking this because if I know the purpose, may be I shall be able to suggest an alternative which may be easier to get considering the market situation. Good luck _________________ Mortgage Shopping made easy with booklet
