Hi Guest,
With a second mortgage, you can borrow on the basis of your present home equity, that is the difference between the current value of your property and the amount you have paid towards the first mortgage. But before considering a second mortgage, you must know that you have to incur the closing costs similar to that of the first mortgage. And you will also have to pay the higher interest rate associated with the second loan. To know more on second mortgage, you may refer to http://www.mortgagefit.com/second-mortgage.html |

|
|
| I took a second mortgage with my fiance just 5 months ago and since then I'm paying 80% of the monthly payments. My finace quit his job and now he refuses to pay for the loan. But I pay for all the utilities cables and then there's the first loan, though I can still pay for it . Can I sue home for his part of the second loan payments, he said he'll pay half of the second mortgage? |

Hi Remo,
It is totally depends upon you. I think if you can pay it you can pay it until your fiancé starts earning, it is better to negotiate the matter. Otherwise, you can surely sue him for his part of the second loan payments.

Hello Remo,
You can definitely sue him but you have to carry on with the payments before he starts doing it. Otherwise it will affect your credit. |

|
|
| I bought my first house with 80/10/10 loan. I didn't know that the second mortgage is a balloon loan with lump sum payment after 10 years. How do I pay extra towards the principal each month so that I don't have to make balloon payment after 10 years? |

Hi Caira,
I think it is difficult to pay off balloon loan with lump sum payment after 10 years. So if you can convert that loan into Adjustable Rate of Mortgage, then it may be helpful for you. You should talk to your lender and convert it to ARM.
Thanks,
Larry |

Hi,
I guess you can make accelerated mortgage payments to pay off the loan early.
You can choose accelerated bi-weekly payments where you make payments every two weeks, making a total of 26 payments in a year.
For all this, you need to talk to your lender first. |

|
|
Hi Tracy,
Welcome to our community forums.
First of all, let me tell you, if you have refinanced last year itself, then there are less chances of refinancing again within this time gap.
Moreover, you don't seem to have much equity, so getting a cash-refinance loan won't be easier. However, if you would like to check out if a refinance or second mortgage is the right option, you may use the Calculator on Cash-out Refinance vs Second Mortgage. And, if ever you take out a second mortgage, you need to pay it concurrently with the first; if you wait till the first is over, then there'll be a lot of accumulated debt and probably by that time, you lender might foreclose even.
Regards,
Jessica.

Hi Edwards,
It is very tough to transfer the second mortgage from your old home to new home. You have said that the equity of your new home is very low. So it is not possible to take a second mortgage on your new home and pay off the second mortgage of your one. It will be better if you talk to some lenders on this regard.
Thanks,
Larry |

Hello Edwards,
I don't think it is possible to transfer the mortgage of one property to another.
It is already a written agreement that you have taken a second mortgage against a particular property and keeping that as a collateral against the loan. So, now it is impossible to transfer the same loan to another and change the collateral.
You could have refinanced your new home to pay off the second mortgage but since the equity in the new property is too low you cannot even do that. |

Hello Solomon,
A judicial foreclosure is processed through court when the lender files a complaint and the non-judicial foreclosure is done without the court's intervention.
You will find more information on these at http://www.mortgagefit.com/judicial-foreclosure.html
Apart from this, if you want to do a detailed study you may refer to
" The Foreclosure Handbook - A Basic Guide to Understanding the Foreclosure Process " written by Jeffrey Posner. |
