A first mortgage is a loan where the lender has priority over all other creditors or lenders in the event of a default. As a result, first mortgages are considered less risky and come with lower interest rates. To qualify for a first mortgage from a private lender, borrowers typically need a credit score between 550 and 600, proof of income, and a down payment of 20-25% of the purchase price.

A second mortgage, on the other hand, is a loan that ranks below a first mortgage and is typically used when the borrower needs to access the equity in their property. Second mortgages are considered riskier and come with higher interest rates. To qualify for a second mortgage from a private lender, borrowers typically need a higher credit score between 600 and 650, proof of income, and a significant amount of equity in their home.
