Supplemental Mortgage Program

Supplemental Mortgages are available on seasoned first mortgages. We also offer a split mortgage option, where the Borrower simultaneously takes out a first and supplemental mortgage. Advantages of the Supplemental Mortgage product include:

  • Reduced documentation at full application for most loans.
  • Additional financing without the prepayment premium that a refinancing would trigger.
  • Both fixed- and adjustable-rate supplemental loans available.
  • The ability to maximize proceeds at settlement of a split loan without subjecting the entire debt to a full yield maintenance period.

Supplemental Mortgage Options

We offer three types of supplemental mortgage options:

  1. Coterminous: A supplemental mortgage with a term that matures at the same time as the first mortgage.
  2. Noncoterminous: A supplemental mortgage with a term that exceeds the remaining term of the first mortgage.
  3. Split Mortgage: A supplemental mortgage placed at the same time as a newly originated first mortgage.
