Yes. If you do not pay the 2nd mortgage, you can lose your home in a foreclosure sale. The difference between the first and 2nd mortgage holder in that case varies according to the unit of government. The law in the United States is according to state law. At one time in this state, the first mortgage holder had certain rights concerning whether or not to foreclose. There was a time period when the first mortgage holder had the chance to try to sell the first mortgage or something like that. I have not kept up with all the changes in the law involving second mortgages.

Still, when there is a foreclosure, the first mortgage holder gets paid off first. If there is anything left, the second mortgage holder gets paid. Some commercial property has as much as a fifth mortgage.

What are the dangers of a second mortgage foreclosure?

The biggest problem with second mortgage foreclosures is that you can lose your home even if you are still current on your first mortgage. The second mortgage, if defaulted on supersedes you first mortgage.


If you have a second mortgage but your first mortgage was foreclosed on do you still have to pay back the second or would it be rolled into the first mortgage?

Once the primary mortgage forecloses and the property is sold at auction, the 2nd mortgage becomes just another unsecured debt. If the 2nd lender received no funds from the sale of the property, then you ARE liable for the full balance of the 2nd mortgage - plus interest when it goes delinquent. Use care, this will differ depending on the state, but it's not uncommon for the 2nd mortgage note holder to use any means necessary to get back their loan amount, including foreclosure. Often a second mortgage note holder will attempt to purchase the primary note. One potential issue can play out as follows: * A homeowner finds themselves in financial trouble. * They successfully negotiate a payment plan with their primary lender, but remain in default against their second mortgage loan. * The second lien holder then purchases the primary mortgage (which is still in good standing) and forecloses. * Homeowner finds themselves losing their home to the 2nd mortgage lender.

Your home recently foreclosed you had a first and second loan The first loan handled the foreclosure487k now you are left with the second loan 117K What happens now?

When your home is foreclosed on, the first or second can start the process. If you have a first mortgage and a second mortgage, your first mortgage is the first lien holder. Therefore if the second was first to foreclose they would have to pay the balance or negotiate the balance (agree to lower payoff). When a home is foreclosed on, all debts against the home are extinguished.Normally in a foreclosure the first mortgage will not negotiate with the second mortgage, in this instance the second mortgage would be out of the picture. VALUE (appraisal) plays a huge role in this process.

Can a second mortgage put a lien on a home that is not foreclosed but I owned as a primary home however since foreclosure the first mortgage was paid its full amount and the second mortgage nothing?

A second mortgage already has a lien on the home. If you don't pay the second mortgage they will foreclose and take the home. By paying off the first mortgage you just make it easier for the bank to get their money back out of the property when they sell it.
