Why are 2nd Home Mortgage rates higher, even if 1st home is paid up?

Lenders typically consider second home mortgages to be riskier because if something happens with the borrower's financial situation, the borrower is more likely to prioritize paying the mortgage on their primary residence than their second home. That's why these mortgages can have slightly higher rates.

But Im being told that 2nd home buyers mortgage rates are higher, even if my first home is paid up.

Why?

I'm guessing it's just an across the board rule when you answer no to the question, is this your main residence?

If the rate difference is significant, why don’t you take out the loan on your first home to finance your second?
