Refinance Second Mortgage
Refinance Second Mortgage . A second mortgage is typically taken out to help make the down payment on a particular piece of property. For example, a lender who will finance only 80 percent of the value of a $100,000 home could offer a second mortgage to help the homeowner finance the remaining $20,000 or to pay for insurance, closing costs, etc. Refinancing that second mortgage can significantly lower the monthly payments.
