Second Mortgages
There are many different types of second mortgages available:
- A reverse mortgage is a line of credit available for homeowners of 62 years
and older. This type of loan allows you to draw money as you need or receive
monthly payments for the rest of your life or until you move, even if the
amount of your loan exceeds the value of your house (usually because the home
did not rise in value as expected or the homeowner lived longer than was expected).
This loan, like the home equity line of credit, has an adjustable rate, but
this rate is based on a different index, the Prime Rate which can often be
more reliable than other indexes.
- If you have little or no equity in your home, many lenders will still allow
you to obtain a second mortgage, but it can be risky to secure a loan with
your home if there is not enough equity accrued.

Home Equity
There are a variety of loans based on the equity of a home that are available. Home equity loans, home equity lines of credit, and reverse mortgages are a few. A home equity loan, or second mortgage, is a secured fixed rate loan that uses property as collateral. This type of loan is given in a lump sum to be repaid monthly by the owner and is perfect for home owners wanting to fund home improvement or purchase a new car.

Land Loan
Usually, the homebuyer places a down payment on the lot and uses a line of credit to finance the construction of the home. As construction moves along, the buyer borrows from the line of credit to finance the building. Once the construction is finished, the land loan and the line of credit are rolled into a single mortgage to be paid by the homeowner.

Mortgage Calculation
Amortization is the repayment schedule for both the principal and interest of your mortgage which is usually made by equal payments on a monthly basis.. Mortgage calculation shows what this monthly payment will be, depending on certain loan terms, including, loan amount, interest rate, and term. If your loan term is 15 years, your interest rate is 7%, and your loan amount is $150,000, your monthly payment comes to $1,348. Mortgage calculation can also show you that your total interest paid of the life of this loan would be $92,683. Some people would look at these figures and decide that $1,348 is too high a monthly payment that will not fit into the budget. In this case, you could change around the terms, for example, switch to a 30 year term, which would drop the monthly payment by $351, making it $997 monthly, but would double the amount of interest paid over the life of the loan.

The first terms you will come across in determining the conditions you want
for your mortgage are fixed and adjustable.
- Fixed rates are constant through out the repayment of your loan and give
you the stability of knowing your monthly payment will be the same at the
end of your loan as they were at the start.
- Adjustable rates are less predictable because they adjust with current rate
indexes and can rise or fall as your repayment period progresses. The lessened
stability of this loan is balanced out by lenient qualifying, low introductory
rates, and the knowledge that an adjustable rate loan has a cap, or ceiling
to keep the rate from rising too high.

Reverse Mortgage
Though generally most applicants for a reverse mortgage own their homes free and clear, a homeowner can qualify even if they still owe if the first cash advance can pay off this debt. There is no maximum age or penalty against older borrowers; in fact, generally the older the borrower, the larger the amount received.
