Second Mortgage Investments: Higher Yield, Higher Risk

For investors seeking higher yield, second mortgage positions offer greater returns in exchange for more risk. Here is how they work.

Behind the first mortgage

A second mortgage ranks behind the first, so it is repaid only after the first mortgage is settled. This added risk is reflected in the return.

Higher target returns

Second mortgage positions target approximately 9–11% annual interest, making them attractive to investors comfortable with more risk for more yield.

Who they suit

Second mortgages suit investors looking to maximize yield on real-estate-secured loans. Returns are not guaranteed; review each deal and seek advice.
