Rate of interest is the rate in percentage charged by the mortgage lender in calculating the outstanding principal balance. Attraction to have mortgage with minimum interest rates, is the main motive behind refinancing practice. Besides, when the borrower is unable to pay off the debts of current mortgage, then the only best way left is to through refinancing.

Second Mortgage is the second loan against a specific piece of property. It is a mortgage subsequent to another mortgage and subordinate to the first one. ( http://www.mortgagefit.com/second-mortgage.html )

Borrowers can enjoy reduction in monthly payments, if the rates have dropped since the purchase of his/her home. Thus enabling a borrower to save, spend or invest more money each month. They can use the equity build into their homes and utilize this money for home improvements, college tuitions, etc. Refinancing a second mortgage can help borrowers to regain control of their personal debt.
