2nd Mortgage and PMI
Thursday, Apr 5, 2007
Question: I just bought a home as a first time home buyer on 10/16/2006. My loan officer got me the loan with 1st and 2nd Mortgage (2 separate loans). Why did he do that? what scenerio will make that necessary? Can I get a home equity loan or HELOC based on my situation? I need cash now, is refinancing the only option available since I have a second mortgage? Please provide some helpful advise for my situation. Thanks.

You can always apply for a new loan, or a home equity loan, but it will be at a very high LTV, which means you will need perfect credit and a good income stream.
