No you don't have to mortgage your house, however if you do mortgage it, you could invest the available cash into a Money Market Mutual fund and cut you monthly payments to almost nothing, or actually make a profit.

Can you file and keep your house if you have a second mortgage?

You will be able to keep the house provided you keep making the mortgage payments. In a chpt. 13, if the 1st mortgage amount is higher than the house value, you can strip the 2nd mortgage and treat it as an unsecured creditor. If the house value is higher than the 1st mortgage, then you will need to keep paying both mortgages.


What happens when you die and leave a mortgaged house to someone?

They now have a house with a mortgage on it. If they cannot, or do not wish to, pay the mortgage, they will have to sell the house, pay off the mortgage, and keep the remainder of the money. The mortgage holder may require you to get a new mortgage on the property, rather than assume the existing loan. You are essentially leaving them what ever value you own of the house.
