Absolutely start the foreclosure process. If the first mortage is also in default, then you run the risk that they start foreclosure before you. If that happens there is a good possibility that your mortgage will be wiped out. The only way to avoid this, in most states, is to purchase the house at foreclosure. For most private mortgage holders this is not a realistic alternative.

Typically foreclosure can take several months. By delaying further you insure that your losses will be compounded. Keep in mind that you can always stop the foreclosure process.

Why does the second mortgage holder have to approve of the first mortgage refinance?

The second mortgage holder typically needs to approve the first mortgage refinance because they hold a subordinate position to the first mortgage. Refinancing the first mortgage could impact the second mortgage holder's position, so their consent is often required to make changes to the primary loan.


If payments have been made to the second mortgage but not to the first Mortgage can the first mortgage holder reclaim any of those payments from the second mortgage holder?

No, the first lien hold cannot claim or collect any monies from the 2nd lien holder. The lien holders sole recourse is with the borrower.


Can you have 2 mortgage loans through same mortgage company?

Yes. Your mortgage company may hold your first (or primary) mortgage as well as a second which may be represented as a home equity loan or a home equity line of credit.


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.

What are points on a mortgage?

Mortgage Points When you close on a mortgage, you are given the option to buy "points". These points are a fee paid to the lender that lower the interest rate on the mortgage. One (1) point = 1% of the mortgage amount, and will typically lower your interest rate by 0.125% on a 30 year loan. How do I know if I should buy Points? Whether or not you buy points is a function of how long you will keep your mortgage. Generally it will make more sense to buy points if you plan to hold onto your mortgage for a long time, and you can calculate the breaken number of years for buying points to make economic sense. About.com offers the following advice on determining this breakeven point: * "1. Calculate the amount of your monthly payment at the interest rate you will be charged if you do not pay points. * "2. Calculate the amount of your monthly payment at the lower rate if you do pay points. * "3. Deduct the lower payment from the higher payment to find the amount saved each month. * "4. Divide the amount charged for points at closing by the monthly amount saved. The result is the number of months you must keep the loan to break-even on paying points." About.com continues with an example, showing the breakeven mortgage hold period for buying 1 point on a $100,000 30-year 7.5% loan is 117 months. If you hold the mortgage less than 117 months, it won't make economic sense to have purchased the points.


If your parents took out a mortgage in their name how do you get a mortgage in your name for the same property?

A property cannot be mortgaged twice at once. Additionally, you must hold the title to the property to place it under mortgage. Unless the other mortgage is paid off and your parents give you the house, you will not be able to get a mortgage on it.


Can I get a mortgage in my name using my live-in boyfriend's income?

No. In order to obtain a mortgage in your name, you have to prove that you, as the mortgage holder, will be able to pay the mortgage yourself. The banks do not consider a live-in boyfriend's income a reliable source of income for yourself, nor can they hold him responsible for payment if the mortgage is in your name. You will have to get the mortgage based on your income, unless you and he put the mortgage in both names, using both of your incomes.
