A first mortgage is the primary loan used to purchase a property and holds the highest lien position. A second mortgage (or home equity loan/line of credit) is an additional loan taken against the property, subordinate to the first mortgage.
Interest rates are influenced by various factors including your credit score, loan-to-value (LTV) ratio, current market conditions, the loan term, and the specific mortgage product you choose.
While a down payment is typically required, the amount can vary. Some loan programs, such as FHA or VA loans, allow for very low or no down payment options, though they may have other specific requirements.
The timeline can vary, but generally, from application to closing, the process can take anywhere from 30 to 60 days, depending on the complexity of the application and the efficiency of document submission.
