Recent enhancements to our Closed-End Second Mortgage program now make it easier for homeowners, self-employed borrowers, and wage earners to qualify while offering significantly higher loan amounts. If you’re consolidating debt, financing a business opportunity, renovating a property, or simply accessing your home’s equity, these updates create more financing opportunities than ever before.
Higher Loan Limits
One of the biggest improvements is the increase in the maximum loan amount. Borrowers can now obtain a closed-end second mortgage of up to $750,000, providing substantially more borrowing power for larger projects and higher-value properties. This expanded loan limit makes the program an attractive solution for borrowers who need significant access to equity without disturbing the low interest rate on their existing first mortgage.
New Alternative Documentation Options
Qualifying for a second mortgage isn’t always easy, especially for self-employed borrowers whose tax returns may not accurately reflect their true income. To address this, the program now offers two powerful alternative documentation options.
- P&L Only Program – Qualify using a Profit and Loss statement along with just two months of business bank statements.
- Written Verification of Employment (WVOE) – A streamlined income verification option that can simplify the approval process for qualifying wage earners.
Self-Employed Borrowers
These program enhancements serve both self-employed borrowers and wage earners by offering multiple qualifying methods. The result is more approvals and fewer missed opportunities.
Keep Your Existing First Mortgage
One of the greatest advantages of a closed-end second mortgage is that borrowers can access their home’s equity without refinancing their current first mortgage. If you already have a favorable first mortgage interest rate, a second mortgage allows you to preserve that loan while still obtaining the cash you need.
