Absolutely, you can sell a house with a second mortgage on it. Keep in mind that you will have to provide clear title at time of closing and that the all mortgages (first and second) will need to be satisfied at closing which can be paid with the proceeds from the sale.

What are other options besides foreclosure?

# Save up money to get current. # Establish a repayment plan or forbearance agreement with the current mortgage company. # Modify the terms of the existing loan through a mortgage modification, agreed upon between homeowners and lender. # Refinance through a traditional or hard money lender and obtain a foreclosure bailout loan, if there is enough equity to qualify. # For FHA loans, obtain a partial claim to get current. This will result in a lien being placed on the property for the amount of arrears, but reinstates the mortgage. # Sell to a private investor or friend/family member who will allow the homeowners to continue living in the property. # File bankruptcy and include the house (Chapter 13), and keep up with the court-ordered repayment plan. # Sell the property for less than what is owed through a short sale. Tax liabilities may be a result of this option. # Sell the property outright for as much as possible, paying off the loan in full. # Offer the bank the deed to the house to avoid going through with the entire process with a deed in lieu of foreclosure. # Just move out, abandon the house, and begin the process of becoming financially stable after foreclosure.

What could happen if you have 2 mortgages on the same property and you only default on the smaller of the 2 mortgages?

A mortgage is a promise that you make to the lending company. You promise them that if you don't pay back the loan, then they can have your house. It's no different for the second mortgage except that if you fail to pay either bank, and they both want your house, then the first mortgage holder always wins. If you default on your second mortgage..then they have the right to foreclose and sell your property BUT they have to pay the balance on your first off. If you defalut on your first mortgage then they will give notice to your second mortgage company and give them the option to "accelerate " the mortgage and they can foreclose..but if the second does not then the first mortgage can foreclose and sell your property and only pay the second off if there is enough money from the sale. It really doesn't matter if the mortgage balance is the "smaller" it is who is recorded in first & second lien position.
