I'm not sure I understand your question. An approval for a second mortgage would indicate that a) you have equity in your property and b) you have a good credit rating. But the need to take a second mortgage may indicate insufficient savings.

A second mortgage when buying a home, means you do not have proper down payment and are borrowing money you should have saved to buy the home.
it also means you may well be borrowing more money than you can properly repay, esp if something goes wrong with income.
Second loans are the reason many people lose their homes, because of too high a debt.
It does mean you have good credit, means that there is value in the home. To allow for the loan.
being able to qualify for it, and actually getting the loans are two different issue.

Ok, I didn't see the buying the home issue. First, you can't get a 2nd mortgage until a first is processed. So its not going to happen at the same time. You may be able to get another loan depending on your credit but now you are getting into a risk category. If you don't have the money to pay the down payment you shouldn't buy. If the primary lender finds out you were borrowing to get the down payment, they may consider it fraud.
I meant that if you have to borrow against your house, then you don't have enough savings.

You should never use a 2nd mortgage to buy a car. The car will be rust and not running and payments on the debt continue. You could start putting the payment into a savings account and when you have enough money, just buy the car. With cash.
The best person is one with NO debt what so ever.

Where did you see this happening? A primary lender is not going to give you two loans. A secondary is not going to give a loan until the house is yours.

So then why did you ask? It depends on how much equity. If the lender feels the repairs will increase the equity, it might happen, but its not usual.
