Closed-End Second Loan Program

Grow Your Pipeline. Protect Your Clients’ Low First-Mortgage Rates. Unlock More Volume with 5th Street Capital.

In today’s housing market, millions of homeowners are “locked in” with ultra-low first-lien mortgage rates, making traditional cash-out refinances unattractive or financially impossible. As a mortgage broker, that means fewer refinance opportunities… unless you offer smarter solutions.

Why Offer a Closed-End Second Mortgage?

A Timely Solution for Today’s Homeowners

 

The vast majority of U.S. homeowners still have first-lien rates in the 2–4% range. Refinancing into a new first mortgage at today’s higher rates simply doesn’t make financial sense for most borrowers. That’s where a Closed-End Second comes in.

 

This program allows your clients to:

  • Preserve their low first-mortgage rate

  • Tap into home equity for cash—without refinancing

  • Borrow with predictable, fixed payments

  • Access funds for debt consolidation, home improvements, investments, and more

 

As a broker, that translates into a high-demand product that fills a major gap in the market, giving you more chances to say “yes” when others say “no.”

The Blended Rate Advantage

Why a Closed-End Second Beats a Cash-Out Refi

Instead of refinancing the entire first mortgage into today’s higher rates, borrowers can simply add a second mortgage at a competitive rate. This creates a blended rate, a combined effective rate that is significantly lower than what they’d have after a full cash-out refinance.

Example Benefits of the Blended Rate Approach:

  • Lower overall interest expense

  • Lower total monthly payment

  • Preserves a historically low first-mortgage rate

  • Provides needed cash without resetting the entire loan term

 

For most homeowners, a Closed-End Second is not just the better option, it’s the only option that makes financial sense in today’s market.
