What is a Second Mortgage?


Basically, if you have two mortgages on a home, you have first and second mortgage.

If you default, the first mortgage must be paid first, and then the second mortgage.

That means that the second mortgage is riskier for the lender, and thus the interest rate is usually higher on a second mortgage.
