Can you actually get a second mortgage with no equity? Is it possible to get a second mortgage against your home without having built up any equity? When should you get a second mortgage if you have no equity?

You can get a second mortgage with no equity. It is referred to as a 125 second. This is when they use 125% of the value of your home to get you the financing you need. Usually you have to have a good credit rating and a low debt to income ratio in order to get a 125 second mortgage.

A second mortgage is what I refer to as a band aid loan. This is a loan that is used to temporarily fix a situation until a better solution can be found. You should never get a second mortgage when you can refinance your first mortgage. When you have already done this and used up 100% of the value you have no choice, but to take out a second mortgage.

When you take out a second mortgage for 125% of the value of your home you need to have a plan. You need to have a plan that will allow you to get through the desperate time that you are in, and come out in a better place. You want it to only be temporary. It is not a good thing to get used to having your home financed at more than it’s value.

Use this advice in order to make a sound decision in your financial situation. Remember that even when you are desperate you still need to compare rates and fees in order to get the best deal possible.

    What do kids want in a house? Surprise! It's not granite countertops or hardwood flooring, it's not even their own bedrooms or a den. From a child's point of view, a house can only be as good as the relationships it fosters. When parents go out of their way to make sure the new family home meets their kids' social needs, great things can happen. Fortunately, meeting your child's social needs doesn't mean you have to take a giant step back in time to the days of ten child families. It also doesn't mean you have to constantly entertain or clean up after guests. If you plan it right, your kid friendly house will make your life easier. All you need is other kids in the neighborhood, a safe local gathering spot, age appropriate activities in or around your home and food (don't forget the food.) So, if you're a home buyer with children, here's what to look for to land a kid-friendly house:
