SECOND MORTGAGE DETAILS

You work hard to pay your mortgage. Now let your home’s value work for you. A Second Mortgage (also known as a home equity loan) lets you borrow against the portion of your home that you own while keeping your existing mortgage in place.

A Second Mortgage from Dakotaland FCU is a smart way to use the equity in your home to access funds for home renovations, college tuition, debt consolidation, or other major expenses.

Here’s how it works:

  • Borrow up to 90% of your home's value, depending on qualifications
  • Receive a lump sum payout and repay the loan with predictable monthly payments
  • Because the loan is secured by your home, rates are often lower than many other borrowing options
  • Approval, along with the rate and term offered, is based on credit history, income, available equity, and a property evaluation
  • Closing costs and other fees may apply

FREQUENTLY ASKED QUESTIONS

A Second Mortgage is a loan that lets you borrow against the equity you hold in your home. Unlike a cash-out refinance, your original mortgage stays in place.


A second mortgage can be used to access funds for expenses like home improvements, debt consolidation, college tuition, healthcare costs, or other major life expenses. In fact, interest on money used to improve your home can, in some cases, be written off as a tax deduction. Talk to your tax advisor to find out if you qualify.

A Second Mortgage uses your equity in the value of your home as collateral. As a result, rates are typically lower than those charged in unsecured lines of credit, such as credit cards or unsecured personal loans.

Your ability to qualify for a Second Mortgage depends on your credit history, debt-to-income ratio, loan amount, and how much equity you have in your home.

A Second Mortgage, also known as a home equity loan, is different from a home equity line of credit (HELOC). With a second mortgage, you receive a one-time lump sum based on the equity in your home, and you repay it over time with a fixed interest rate and consistent payments until the loan is paid off.

A home equity line of credit (HELOC) works more like a revolving credit account. You’re approved for a credit limit based on your home’s equity, and you can borrow from it as needed. You only pay interest on the amount you use, and the rate is usually variable, meaning you may pay higher interest rates over time.
