Generally higher, because it will be a junior mortgage. That means that while it is Secured, if the property goes into foreclosure, the prior mortgage(s) get paid before they see a nickel. That makes it a little riskier, which demands a higher return than a First.
It will be higher…Plus if your credit limit is not 630 or above they won’t lend you anything…You might just look into refinacing..If you have credit card debt..You could consolidate your credit card debt and be able to claim it on your taxes..I work for a mortgage company in Michigan …I would love to run some numbers and see if I can help you in any way …Thanks Dave
Normally Higher because of its “Second Lien” Status. The fact is they are more of a risk to the bank. Why?? What happens if you loose your job and can only make your 1st mortgage?? The truth is that u can go without making a payment on your second but they can never go into foreclosure proceedings unless the lender who has the first mortgage subordinates, which will almost never happen. It will obviously effect your credit and mortgage history but it can an only become a lien. Hope that explains why 99% of HELOC’s and HEL’s have higher rates..
Usually higher.
I think you meant Home Equity Line of Credit vs. Mortgage.
Almost inevitably higher.

It’s higher and will adjust with the market each month.
If you want to take a second out on your house, consider a line of credit. You only have to pay what you use, just like a credit card.
