What is a second mortgage?

A second mortgage is a separate loan that lets you borrow against the equity you've built in your home while keeping your current mortgage in place. It can be used for home improvements, debt consolidation, unexpected expenses, or other major financial needs.

Piggyback Loans

What is a piggyback loan?

A piggyback loan is a second mortgage done at the same time as a first mortgage, essentially piggybacking on the first mortgage. DFCU offers these “piggyback” second mortgages for both purchasing or refinancing your home.

Why should I consider a piggyback loan?

Homebuyers often use piggyback loans to avoid private mortgage insurance (PMI) costs. It can make up the difference and save you money.
