Can you refinance a second mortgage?

My credit is decent enough but i figured that refinancing a second mortgage might be a little more complicated than a normal refi by PNewma_720_351 from Raleigh, North Carolina. Sep 11th 2012 Reply

It can be done but the balances on 2nd loans are usually too small to mess with. You might benefit most from a complete refinance to combine both your loans into one at today's low rates.

you can but not sure why... most 2nd mortgages are variable rates and refinancing will almost never result in a lower payment.. but, as others suggested, you can refinance both first and 2nd into a new first mortgage...I'm a Broker here in Scottsdale AZ and I only lend in Arizona.

Absolutely you can refinance a second mortgage. You can either start with your current lender or look for a new one. Most Banks and Credit Unions still offer them, but more than likely with terms that are not as favorable as in years past. If you are currently upside down, then it is doubtful you would be approved, but if you do have equity, then I would start with a local Credit Union. ~ Bert Carpenter, The LoansA2z team of NOVA Home Loans ~ NMLS 40586 ~ www.LoansA2z.com 888-889-9950

Generally speaking, sure, you can refinance a second mortgage. Of course each person and situation is different, so a review of your overall situation with a licensed mortgage professional is warranted.
