What Is a Third Mortgage?
A third mortgage is a loan that is prioritized lower than first and second mortgages. This type of loan was more common in the 1970s and 1980s, before scandals on savings and loans changed the way home mortgages are handled. In the 70s and 80s these loans were given more freely, without the scrutiny and thoughtfulness necessary to protect the lender and home owner, and the resulting scandals caused the housing disaster that cost thousands of people their homes. Today, mortgage lenders are more careful about issuing 3rd mortgages. While properties having three mortgages still exist, nowadays, there are very few third mortgage lenders.
Securing a third mortgage is difficult because of the third mortgage lenders significant risk of foreclosure. As a general rule, in a foreclosure proceeding, the first mortgagee is given preference over lower prioritized mortgagees. In the event that the same property holds more than one mortgage and the borrower falls into default, the first mortgage holder is first in line to recover his money. The second mortgage holders are next in line, and the third mortgage lenders are the last to recover their money. The companies who issue the 3rd mortgage have the least amount of security, and as a result, interest rates on third mortgages are high.
A 3rd mortgage is a type of loan through which the borrower receives funds secured based on the value of real estate. Qualifications for this type of mortgage vary widely by the lender and the purposes of the loan. Criteria that lenders consider include credit scores, income, and other mortgages. Most loans are based on collateral, which is usually the value of the real estate. The higher the value of the collateral, the more chance the borrower has of getting the loan for which he applied. If the borrower defaults, the collateral—usually a home—reverts to the money lender and the home eventually goes into foreclosure.
Third mortgage loans do have some benefits. Homeowners often use them to enhance or preserve the value of their place of residence by paying for home improvements. Third mortgages are generally added to a first and second mortgages for an addition, to renovate a kitchen, or build a swimming pool. They can offer consolidation loans, mortgage refinancing, and lines of credit. A lender looks at equity in other mortgages, income, debit, credit score, and employment history when considering an application for a third mortgage.
When considering a 3rd mortgage, it is important to keep in mind the total amount of regular payments on all previous mortgages to decide whether or not another mortgage is practical, and it is just as important to remember that monthly payments are required to be paid on all three mortgages simultaneously. If the loan does get approved, it would be at a much higher rate of interest compared to the earlier mortgages.
When considering obtaining a third mortgage, remember that securing such a mortgage is not easy. Make sure you do your research when it comes to mortgage lenders and consider all the financial implications.
