What is a "Simultaneous Second Mortgage?"

Garret Belisle

Here is some more useful information I picked up for everyone to take a look at, hope you get some use from it.

The Simultaneous Second Mortgage is originated and closed in conjunction with a first mortgage to purchase and/or refinance a home.

So Who is The Target market?

You! The borrower that is seeking a lower payment than a high-LTV first mortgage and the simplicity of one loan closing.

What's in it for The Bank?

1. One-stop secondary marketing outlet for both first and second mortgages.
2. Offers a new product to supplement originations and increase the number of loan you currently have ongoing.
3. Consistent second lien standards, pricing, and technology. Up-to-date.

What's in it for Me?

The borrower save money because their monthly payment will be lower than it would be with a single, larger first mortgage, plus there's only one set of closing costs.

As always, take a look at your situation. See whats around and of course you can always check out the information here and verify it with your banker or mortgage officer.

All the best
