When a genuine opportunity lands on your desk, timing matters more than anything. At Secured Lending, we’ve advised and assisted borrowers to use a second mortgage loan for Opportunity funding to act decisively—without disturbing an existing first mortgage. We’ve facilitated over 200 strategic second mortgages, and we can help you move fast with a second mortgage loan for Opportunity funding. Assess your scenario today.
What a Second Mortgage Really Does for You
A second mortgage lets you unlock equity in a property you already own—residential or commercial—while leaving your primary loan in place. It’s a practical way to access capital for short-notice opportunities without refinancing your entire position.
Where This Works Well
- Taking advantage of a supplier discount or bulk stock purchase
- Securing an investment or auction property with an urgent settlement deadline
- Funding a deposit on a business acquisition while longer-term finance is arranged
- Short-term renovations or value-add works before a sale or refinance
- Bridging cash flow between contract exchange and completion (alongside bridging loans)
Key Benefits When You’re Moving Quickly
- Speed and certainty: We coordinate same day settlement where feasible, with funding within 24 hours on straightforward files. That’s critical when you need an urgent settlement or you’re facing an emergency timeline.
- Keep your primary loan intact: No need to disturb a well-priced first mortgage—use your equity more efficiently.
- Targeted use of funds: Apply capital exactly where it earns a return, then clear the facility from sale, refinance, or business cash flow.
- Flexible structures: Facilities can be structured as a secured business loan where funds are for business purposes, giving you clean documentation and purpose clarity.
- Straightforward collateral: We accept residential or commercial property as security. We don’t accept other obscure assets as collateral, keeping the process simple and predictable.
When Is a Second Mortgage for Opportunity Funding the Right Move?
- You know your exit: a pending sale, refinance, dividend, or project completion.
- The upside justifies the cost: the margin or discount on the opportunity outweighs short-term borrowing costs.
- Time is tight: traditional bank processes won’t meet the deadline.
- You want to preserve relationships: you’d rather not rework the first mortgage with your bank.
How We Help You Move Quickly and Safely
- Review: We assess your scenario, the property’s equity position, and your intended use of funds.
- Structure: We confirm loan amount, term, and a clear exit to reduce friction and cost.
- Coordinate: We order valuations as required, work with your advisers, and manage any documentation efficiently.
- Confirm: We issue terms in plain language so you can decide with confidence.
- Arrange: We organise settlement with your solicitor and, where possible, move to same day settlement for urgent needs.
Private lender: Why It Matters
As a private lender in Australia, Secured Lending operates Australia wide—Sydney, Adelaide, Melbourne, Brisbane, Perth, Gold Coast, Canberra—as a non-bank lender. That means focused underwriting, pragmatic decision-making, and timelines set by the opportunity, not bureaucracy. If an opportunity is viable and your equity supports it, we move with you.
Practical Scenarios We See Every Week
- Locking in a high-margin stock deal that expires tomorrow
- Securing a development site option fee before another buyer steps in
- Meeting a tight construction or settlement milestone to avoid penalties
- Bridging a refinance gap where credit approval is taking longer than planned
- Funding essential equipment upgrades that unlock immediate revenue
Costs, Limits, and Expectations
Pricing reflects risk, term, and security position. You may see discussion of an interest rate of 11.95%, subject to assessment and documentation. Facility sizes can scale to borrow up to $10 million, depending on equity, property type, and exit strategy. If you prefer to separate business and personal use, we can structure funds as secured business loans. The focus is simple: align cost to the value of the opportunity and keep your runway clear.
What to Prepare to Save Time
- Property details and approximate value
- First mortgage balance and lender
- Intended use of funds and timing
- Exit strategy and target date
With those basics, we can triage quickly and advise the most direct path to settlement.

FAQs
1) How fast can a second mortgage settle for an opportunity?
On straightforward files, we target funding within 24 hours and, where feasible, same day settlement. Timing depends on equity, documentation, and the exit plan.
2) What security do you accept?
We accept residential or commercial property as collateral. We don’t accept other obscure assets as collateral. This keeps process, valuation, and documentation efficient.
3) Will this affect my first mortgage?
Your first mortgage stays in place. We structure the second mortgage behind it and coordinate requirements so your primary lending remains undisturbed.
4) What loan sizes and pricing should I expect?
Facilities can scale to borrow up to $10 million, subject to assessment. Pricing varies by security and term; you may see an interest rate of 11.95% discussed as part of assessment.
5) Is a second mortgage the same as bridging loans?
They’re related but not identical. Bridging loans often span a purchase and sale. A second mortgage specifically leverages existing equity for targeted Opportunity funding, then exits via sale, refinance, or business cash flow.
