What is a silent second mortgage loan?

Hi,

A silent second mortgage is a second lien mortgage which is obtained without informing the first lien holder. This means that the first mortgage holder on your property is unaware of the fact that there's a second mortgage on the property. Buyers take this type of silent loans to provide for the downpayment on the first mortgage. However, this type of loan is a kind of fraud scheme and should be avoided.

hi archie,

A secondary mortgage placed on an asset that is not disclosed to the lender of the original loan. Silent second mortgages are used when a purchaser can't afford the down payment required by the initial mortgage. The mortgage is silent because the original lender is unaware of its presence
