Q: Are there closing costs associated with a second mortgage loan? I am mainly interested in any out-of-pocket expenses.

Mountain America offers several second mortgage options, some with fees and some without. For our fee loans, closing costs are typically 3% of the loan amount and can often be financed. The only up-front costs on fee loans are for appraisals and credit reports. Our no-fee loans carry zero up-front closing costs. There is a recording fee required by the county when the loan is paid off, which varies by county. If terminated early, there will be an administrative fee for no-fee second mortgages.
