If you need $40K or less and you own your home:
Don't get a 2nd mortgage ❌
DON'T get quick cash (whatever you do) ❌
Get a LIEN loan ✅
Why? A LIEN loan secures the loan against your home so that you benefit from better terms, no legal fees, no appraisal, no penalties, cash in your account in as little as 48 hours, no credit bureau reporting and you pay it down over time.
2nd mortgages require expensive lawyers, appraisers, high rates, fees, penalties and take weeks to process. They can be risky because they can go power of sale. They are generally interest only so you never pay it down.
Quick cash places don't secure the funds so you pay exorbitant rates and they gouge you with penalties and fees especially when you try to leave. They can destroy your credit.
Mortgages are our business and if you need less than $40K, you don't need a mortgage. You need a lien. It's a 30 second application form with no commitment or obligation whatsoever.
Use the equity in your home to borrow up to $40K. What's our difference? It's a LIEN not a MORTGAGE. There is a BIG difference and less risk for you.
