You really ought to see an attorney because there are several things that don't quite make sense and states vary on borrower and lender rights (you don't even identify where you are). PS if there is a 2nd mortgage then that is already a lien on the property and there would seem to be no need for that lender to put yet another lien on it; all it may need to do is foreclose and that could jeopardize your first mortgage too!

What does a primary mortgage lender do?
The primary mortgage lender holds the first mortgage. If his mortgage is not paid, he sells the property. He gets paid. You may have a second mortgage. If the second mortgage lender is not paid, he can sell the property. If he sells the property, the primary mortgage lender gets paid first, then the secondary lender gets paid.
When a second mortgage is in foreclosure does the first mortgage show as a foreclosure?
No, they are two separate loans. If the second mortgage is foreclosed the lender takes possession of the property subject to the first mortgage. The borrower no longer owns the property.
What rights does the second mortgage holder have if the first mortgage payments are up to date?
If the second mortgage is in default the second mortgagee can foreclose and take possession of the property subject to the first mortgage.
Can a second mortgage company buy the first mortgage and foreclose?
Yes, a financial company can purchase the lien on your mortgage and then foreclose on your property if you have not made sufficient payments.The second mortgagee can also foreclose on the second mortgage and take possession of the property subject to the first mortgage. In that case, the lender would have to pay off the first mortgage before it could keep any proceeds from a sale of the property..
Can a buyer of a second mortgage reinstate the first and make monthly payments even thought the first mortgage is under the name of the previous owners?
The buyer of a second mortgage is buying the rights of the mortgagee (lender) under the second mortgage. A buyer of a mortgage is correctly called a mortgage assignee. Therefore, the buyer of the second mortgage is subject to the first mortgage. The first mortgage needs to be paid, not "reinstated".The property remains subject to the first mortgage until it has been paid off. Even if the property is transferred to a new owner the property is subject to the first mortgage and the second mortgage if there was a second mortgage recorded in the land records. The second mortgage always remains subject to the first mortgage until the first mortgage has been paid.Note that a property subject to a mortgage is subject to all the terms of that mortgage. Mortgages have boilerplate "due on transfer" clauses. That means if there is any transfer in ownership of the property, the lender will demand payment of the mortgage in full, immediately.It sounds like you need to discuss this with an attorney who can review the details of your situation and explain your options.

If the second mortgage foreclose who pays the first loan?
If the second mortgagee forecloses and takes possession of the property it must pay the first mortgage or if they sell to a third party that party takes the property subject to the first mortgage.
What happens to the first mortgage when the second mortgage forecloses?
AnswerThe first mortgage would have the first position on the lien. So if the second mortgage company foreclosed on the property - they would sell the property and the sale proceeds must go to pay off the first mortgage company first. Then, if there is anything left over, that money goes to the second mortgage company.For example, there is a first mortgage of 100,000 and a second mortgage of 40,000. The property is foreclosed and sold for 125,000. The first mortgage gets paid off (100,000) and the second mortgage company gets the remaining 25,000.The property owner still owes the second mortgage company the other 15,000.--------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------Not true. Maybe different laws in different states but here the 2nd mortgage foreclosure sale does not directly effect the 1st mortgage. It remains a lien.
What happens to second mortgage if first mortgage is foreclosed?
