typically, the part of the loan over the value of the house is
unsecured, like a credit card.

the partially-secured nature of the loan generally means that the
interest rate won't be as bad as the worst credit card rates, but the
interest rates are typically far above what you would pay with a
conventional mortage.

I suppose from the lender's point of view, the fact that the house
exists at all indicates the borrower must have had enough money to buy
it at one point, and is therefore a better risk than if the house
didn't exist at all.

I hope this helps you out!

thanks,
David
