2nd mortgage with a low credit rating
Turned down by the bank? That doesn’t mean you’re out of options. With a 2ᵉ mortgage, you can release funds quickly using the equity in your home.
What is a 2nd mortgage and what is it for?
A second mortgage is a loan secured against your property, in addition to your primary mortgage. It gives you access to cash using the equity you’ve built up in your home, without having to refinance your existing loan.
It’s a mortgage loan for bad credit, available to homeowners whose profiles don’t meet traditional bank criteria. This type of financing can help pay off debts, fund renovations, or simply offer a financial boost.

The difference between a 1st and 2nd mortgage
The main difference lies in the priority of repayment. A first mortgage is the one originally taken out to purchase or refinance the property. It has priority in the event of default. A second mortgage is added later, in second priority. This means that, in the event of forced sale or seizure, the first mortgage will be repaid before the second one. This difference in priority influences loan conditions, including interest rates and approval criteria.
Do I qualify for a second mortgage?
If you own a home and have available equity, you may be eligible for a second mortgage. We don’t base our analysis solely on your credit record. Instead, we assess your situation as a whole, taking into account the value of your property and your real needs. Even if you’ve been turned down by a bank, we may still be able to help.
FAQ
What is the eligible amount for a second mortgage?
The amount depends mainly on the equity available in your property. We analyze each case individually, but in many cases, it’s possible to obtain substantial financing without refinancing your current loan.
Are second mortgages considered bad?
No. They are often used as a temporary solution to deal with an emergency or specific need. When well structured and adapted to your situation, they can help you regain control over your finances.
Is it possible to get a 2nd mortgage with a poor credit rating?
Yes. Unlike banks, private lenders like Lauréat Finance assess the value of your property first, not just your credit rating. We understand that life events can temporarily affect your file. This is not an obstacle to obtaining financing if you have sufficient equity in your home.
What is the minimum credit score required to qualify for a second mortgage?
There is no minimum credit score required at Lauréat Finance. Even with a low credit score, it’s possible to get a second mortgage. We take into account your overall financial situation, the value of your property and your objectives. Lower credit doesn’t mean your options are limited.
How does a 2nd mortgage work?
A second mortgage allows you to borrow against the equity in your home, without touching your existing mortgage. We start by calculating your equity by subtracting your current mortgage balance from the market value of your home. For example, if your property is worth $400,000 and your mortgage balance is $250,000, you have approximately $150,000 in available equity. The amount you can borrow will depend on this margin and other factors, such as your ability to repay. Once the offer is accepted, funds can be released quickly.
Are interest rates higher for a second mortgage?
Rates are generally a little higher than for a first mortgage, as the lender takes on additional risk. That said, we always work to offer you a competitive rate based on your situation and the value of your property.
