Refi or 2nd Mortgage

I'm afraid you have very few options.. First, 598 is very low, and lenders who offer 2nd mortgages have much higher credit standards since 2nd loan's are much more risky for the lender.. they will require a much higher qualified borrower. so, there are no lenders out there who will do a 2nd mortgage with a score that low.. 2nd, you do not have sufficient equity to take out a 2nd mortgage.. and 3rd, you do not have sufficient equity to do a cash out refinance or to combine both loan's into one new loan.. The reality is that if the note holder of the 2nd is in the business of doing 2nd mortgages with balloon payments when they know you cannot perform, only to take back the home.. then your pretty much out of luck.. but if they are reasonable... It's unlikely they will want to foreclose on a home that isn't worth what is owed.. my point is that you probably have a bargaining angle.. Contact the 2nd note holder and see if you can work out a discount on what is owed.. or at the very least,,, ask if they can extend the balloon date..
