MM,
The only solution would be to either refinance the property and pay the Pre-Payment Penalty or see if their existing lender has some loan programs with a lower rate.
Usually when you refinance with the same lender, that lender, waivers the pre-payment penalty.
A friend of mine has a really high 15% rate 2nd mortgage on $36K, I believe he is locked into this program for at least 2 years before he can refinance. There is a PPP if refinanced within 2 yrs., but is there any solutions to this high rate?
