Answer: Let me try…. home equity loan is a loan on your home. second mortgage is a home loan that is on the second lien position. I think home equity loan can be the first or the second or third..on and on. lien position. I don’t think second mortgage carry a bad name on your credit report. It may increase or decrease your credit score depending on the total debts in relation to your income.
