About program
Closed End Second Loans enable you to tap into your home’s equity with a second-lien mortgage. These loans often feature fixed terms and rates, giving you predictable payments over the life of the loan. This program caters to borrowers who need funds for renovations, debt consolidation, or other financial goals—all while keeping their existing first mortgage intact. With a minimum FICO of 660 and up to90% combined loan-to-value (CLTV), this product offers a competitive way to leverage your home’s equity. Cash-out can even be used to satisfy reserve requirements.

FAQ
Can the cash-out from second lien be used to meet reserve requirements?
Yes. One of the advantages of this program is the ability to use proceeds from the second loan toward any required reserves.
Is full appraisal required if the second lien loan amount is below $250k?
Not necessarily. For loans under $250k, an Automated Valuation Model (AVM) may be used, which may reduce cost and speedup processing.
Can non-permanent resident borrowers qualify?
Absolutely. Non-permanent resident borrowers are eligible, provided they meet the minimum credit score and other program requirements.
