Your Home Equity Can Do More Than You Think
Hamilton’s housing market has grown rapidly in recent years, and with that growth, many homeowners have built up substantial home equity, sometimes without even realizing it.
If you’re carrying high-interest debt, planning a major renovation, or just need access to fast cash, a second mortgage could be your best solution.
At Burke Financial, we specialize in helping Hamilton homeowners leverage home equity wisely—even if they’ve been turned down by the bank.
What Is a Second Mortgage, and How Does It Work?
A second mortgage is a loan that uses your home as collateral without affecting your first mortgage. It sits “behind” your primary mortgage, giving you access to equity for:
- Debt consolidation
- Home upgrades
- Emergency expenses
- Property tax arrears
- Business startup funds
3 Smart Ways to Use a Second Mortgage in Hamilton
1. Consolidate High-Interest Debt
From credit cards to personal loans, Hamilton homeowners are often juggling multiple bills with sky-high interest rates. A second mortgage lets you:
- Combine those debts into one loan
- Lower monthly payment
- Free up cash flow
Client example: A West Hamilton homeowner used a second mortgage to consolidate $55,000 in debt, saving $700/month.
2. Fund Major Renovations Without Emptying Savings
Thinking of renovating your kitchen, basement, or rental suite? A second mortgage gives you access to large funds without dipping into your RRSP or emergency savings.
And with Hamilton’s rising property values, upgrades often increase resale value, too.
3. Stop Financial Emergencies in Their Tracks
If you’ve received a Notice of Sale, missed a mortgage payment, or owe back taxes, a second mortgage could be the lifeline that helps you:
- Pay arrears
- Avoid foreclosure
- Rebuild credit
