How do I put a PML in second position on my property?
Please poke holes in this.
I have a single-family home that is sitting on two lots and one of the lots is empty...both lots have the same address. I currently owe 85k on the address.
I want a private lender to lend 100k for 1 year so I can affix a mobile home on the empty lot.
My plan is to get the 100k, affix the mobile home to the property, and then get a HELOC on the property. I would aggressively pay off the 85k before the year is over...this would allow me to get the HELOC so I could pay back my private lender.
I want to present this to a potential lender, but I want to get some opinions on my plan prior to having the conversation. I also know he will want some security on the loan, so I am curious to how I can give him that...I figured second position on the property would be the best way.
How do I go about putting my lender in second position on my property?
Is there another way to offer him security/collateral?
I want to make this as simple as possible.

If they lend you the money, you simply sign a Mortgage Document which gets notarized and recorded in the county records, in addition to a Promissory Note.
Whether you can legally put a mobile home on the empty lot or get a heloc afterwards are different questions.
