December 21, 2007, Newsletter Issue #95: Some Good Reasons to Get a Second Mortgage Loan

Tip of the Week

While no one wants to borrow money that is not needed, there are a number of excellent reasons to get a second mortgage loan. If you are a home owner, have equity in your property, and need funds, a 2nd mortgage can be a useful to meet your requirements. Here are some reasons that often make sense:

Home Improvements : Trying to avoid the perceived paperwork or time involved in getting a second mortgage, some people will use expensive money sources (credit card, personal line of credit, etc.) to pay for home improvement items when it is both easier and much cheaper (because of interest rate and tax deductibility) to use a second mortgage. Debt Consolidation : Should you have over- extended yourself with unsecured and/or plastic card debt, a second mortgage could be the perfect solution to solving your cash flow problems and re-establishing your financial stability. Purchase of High Cost Item : If you want to purchase an expensive automobile, buy new appliances for your kitchen, start a business, or purchase another piece of real estate, a second mortgage might be perfect. Second mortgages are not the ultimate cure or best solution to every problem afflicting the human race, but they can be low cost, sometimes tax deductible alternatives to other options.
