What is a Second Mortgage?

A second mortgage is an additional loan secured against the equity in your home - the portion you truly own, calculated as your property's current value minus your first mortgage balance.

Being "second" in priority, your original mortgage stays intact. This makes it an effective way to access funds without refinancing or selling your home.

Key Advantages of a Second Mortgage

This solution is often a smarter financial tool than refinancing or unsecured personal loans.

Keep Your Great Rate

Don't break your current mortgage, especially if it has a low interest rate. A second mortgage leaves your first one completely intact.

Faster Access to Capital

The approval process is typically much simpler and faster than a full mortgage refinance, getting you the funds you need sooner.

Frequently Asked Questions

Typically, lenders allow you to borrow up to a combined 80% of your home's appraised value. For example, if your home is worth $800,000 and you owe $450,000, your total mortgage limit would be $640,000, giving you access to up to $190,000.

A second mortgage is an additional loan on top of your existing one, leaving your first mortgage untouched. Refinancing, however, replaces your current mortgage with a new, larger one. A second mortgage is often preferred if your first mortgage has a very low interest rate you don't want to lose.

In Canada, mortgage interest may be tax-deductible if the funds are used for income-generating purposes, such as investing in a business or a rental property. Funds used for personal expenses are not deductible. We always recommend consulting with a tax advisor.

Because the loan is secured by your home, the primary risk is foreclosure if you cannot make the payments. Second mortgages also typically have higher interest rates than first mortgages and come with closing costs, including appraisal and legal fees.
