Is there some way to refinance to combine a first and second mortgage into a single debt?

Yes.. Conventional financing will call it a "cash out" refinance when you combine a first and 2nd into one loan.. the maximum loan amount will be based on the Loan to Value (LTV), so it's necessary to know what your home is worth.. these types of transactions will have a lower loan to value, typically 85% or lower, so if you owe $85K on a 100K valued home, you would be ok... if you have less than 15% equity, then you would not be able to use conventional financing.. FHA will allow for 97.75% LTV, and it's not considered a "cash out" refi, however there will be mortgage insurance and an upfront mortgage insurance premium that is charged as well, but FHA rates are lower, so it could be a wash... you should quit guessing and contact a LOCAL mortgage broker and apply with them. Do not use the local "Big" bank, or one of those 50 states internet lenders or nationwide lenders...By applying with your LOCAL Broker, you have an advantage because he's familiar with local customs and works with numerous lenders, seeking out the best loan terms for your particular scenario. Because he has lower overhead, he can offer you lower rates and lower fees than most of the larger lenders.. I'm a Broker here in Scottsdale AZ and I only lend in Arizona.

Of Course there is you silly rabbit.

Yes, that being said you will need sufficient equity to do it and it will matter if it was a purchase money second, and what year you took them both out.

absolutely. you may be even able to combine them into one debt and then get cash out on top of that! give me a call 888-435-7190 Joe Garrett

Yes. You can combine them both into 1 mortgage by doing a cash out refinance. Find an Arkansas lender and apply today! Good luck

Yes as long as you have enough equity in the property. If you do not then the 2nd. will need to subordinate to remain in 2nd. position.

Absolutely, but lots of things to consider. My business partner and I are local Arkansans with offices in Little Rock, Hot Springs, and Paragould. Let me know if you would like to chat about it.Thanks, Brian (bfrench@topflitefinancial.com) or 501-276-6786 or Little Rock Office 501-296-9037 (Jason Hornsby - brother-in-law and business partner)

Yes if you have enough equity to do so. To add to what William said, it will only be considered a "cash out" refinance is if you have drawn on your equity line within the last 12 months. Otherwise, you may combine the two into a rate and term refinance program.

yes, as long as the value of the home is there to secure against the debt

Yes. You can refinance them into a single mortgage.

Yes, If you have enough equity in the property, you can include it in a new mortgage. If not, you can refinance you first mortgage and keep the second one open and long and both lenders agree. If you have any questions, please contact me. Jim Mazzola 732-501-4249 or cornoil@comcast.net

yes

Yes. Contact one of the fine lenders on this forum.

William has it pretty much nailed down. However, if the second mortgage you are paying off WAS used to acquire the home then the transaction would NOT be considered cash out

Yes, If you have enough equity in the property

Yes. You can combine them both into 1 new mortgage by doing a cash out refinance.

Absolutely, it would most likely be considered a "cash-out" refinance to pay off the 2nd mortgage. Of course you would need to speak to a local lender to see which program best fits you.

Yes, as a West Lafayette mortgage lender, I have seen a number of West Lafayette Indiana mortgage loans combining their 1st and 2nd mortgages. The best thing about that is eliminating that pesky second mortgage payment and having double the risk of default (by having two mortgages to worry about) and one of which often is at a higher rate or a variable rate! One mortgage payment at a great fixed rate is just the best way to go. www.phmc.com/coreyvandenberg. I can help in Indiana and Florida.

If you took out the first mortgage and second mortgage at the same time it would actually be a rate and term refinance and not cash out which would give you better terms. Please contact me with any questions.

yes - combining the 2 loans to a single new loan might be an option ..there are factors that do come into play ...value ? was the 2nd mtg obtained when you purchased the property of did you get this after you already owned it ? credit scores ? ability to qualify ?
