One would take out a second mortgage if they need access to capital. A home they purchased might have appreciated greatly in value so one can access that equity by having a second mortgage. One might use it to make home improvements or a business investment.

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.
What is the time period to pay off a homeowner secured loan?

What is the right to cure in a second mortgage?

If one dies and leaves no wife Isn't the house paid in full and secondly even if he took out a second mortgage why should anyone be responsible for it?
This question would be better answered by someone in the finance/mortgage industry. As far as the first part of the question is concerned, the first mortgage wouldn't be paid off unless the homeowner had made arrangements to have it paid off in the event of their death. A life insurance or mortgage protection insurance policy would be necessary to do this. As far as the second part of the question, I have no idea who is or is not responsible for paying that mortgage. I would think that the home would be sold, the 2nd mortgage paid, and the remainder of the money would go to the beneficiaries of the estate. You should also check to see if the homeowner had a standard mortgage, or if they were using a reverse mortgage. Reverse mortgages are becoming increasingly common among retired persons.

How do you mortgage subordinate?
You can't subordinate a mortgage. One bank, the senior lender, sometimes subordinates their mortgage to a bank who is giving the homeowner a new mortgage. The subordination gives the new mortgage first place and the old mortgage becomes the second mortgage.
If 1st mortgage is forclosed on and 2nd mortgage doesn't get any money can they sue for the balance?
Yes. The mortgage exists as collateral for the second mortgage loan. If the second mortgage loan is not satisfied at the foreclosure sale, the second mortgage lender merely loses the collateral but not the loan and it can sue the now former homeowner for the unpaid balance. This is no different than if there is insufficient money from the sale to pay the first mortgage holder in full. The first mortgage hold can file a lawsuit later to recover the deficiency between the actual loan amount and all credits the homeowner is entitled to receive.
With second mortgage holder asking the homeowner to sign a deficiency judgment isn't this lien dropped if the home is foreclosed and goes to public auction?
HOMEOWNER SHOULD SIGN NOTHING...the 2nd mortgage is cut off in the foreclosure action against the 1st mortgage as it affects real property...if the 2nd mortgager holder is looking for a signature, then they should get it from the judge

What is the difference between second mortgages and equity loans?
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.

How does no homeowner's insurance affect mortgage?
Generally: First, failure to carry homeowner's insurance is likely a breach of the mortgage. If the lender discovers your property is uninsured it can call in the full amount of the loan immediately. If you can't pay it, the lender may be able to take possession of the property by foreclosure. Second, if your house burns down you will not have coverage for the damage and will still owe the full amount of the mortgage. The lender may also sue for breach of contract and place you deeper in debt.
