Anything you pay over your monthly payment goes right to principal.
So pay a little extra every month and you will reduce the principal amount. You could also refinance your first and second into one, and pay what you pay between the 2 now assuming your payment would be lower.

A second mortgage is similar to a first mortgage. It is a loan that is secured by your home. It is for a set amount and you will receive a one time payment for the amount of the loan. Then the payments are for a set amount each month for the set term of the loan.
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.
If the first mortgage is foreclosed the second mortgage lien gets wiped off the property by the foreclosure so the property can be sold free and clear of the second mortgage. However, the mortgagor still owes the debt to the lender and the lender can pursue collection of the amount due by a civil lawsuit.
Yes. You have to pay the second mortgage regardless of how much your home sells for. You borrowed the money, you pay it back.
An equity home loan mortgage is similar to a second mortgage where it is possible to borrow on the equity of a home. This helps reduce financial pressure like facing a foreclosure on a home.
A second mortgage is a loan that involves a second lien on the property. (The first mortgage is the first lien.) Generally, a second mortgage is for a fixed dollar amount paid out at one time, in the same way as a first mortgage, and can be fixed-rate or adjustable-rate. In the early 1980s, a second type of second mortgage appeared that was referred to as an "equity line of credit," which came to be known as a HELOC. A HELOC allows the homeowner/borrower to draw out money as needed up to a certain amount. HELOCs are always adjustable-rate. In short, both a second and an equity loan are "second mortgages." The rate and manner of disbursement are different. A second mortgage, by virtue of the ability to get it as a fixed-rate loan, would be the better option.
A homeowner take out a second mortgage if they are struggling to pay off their first mortgage. You can read more at www.bostonapartments.com/mortgage/second-mortgage/second-mortgage.html -
When you refinance, you pay off your existing mortgage and make a new one. You might even choose to combine a primary mortgage & a second mortgage into a new loan.
The main benefit of a second mortgage refinance is that it allows one to not have to create a new mortgage. Creating a new mortgage can be a hassle, which a second mortgage can alleviate.
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.
No, a mortgage is a loan taken from a bank to purchase land or property. A remortgage is a loan taken from a bank to pay off an existing mortgage. This is done in an attempt to lower the amount of interest paid to the bank, and should not be confused with a second mortgage.
