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.
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.
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.
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.
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.
There really isn't a place that has a list of careers in mortgage lending. There are several jobs that one can hold in the mortgage industry including a Mortgage Loan Specialist and a Mortgage Compliance Analyst.
That will depend on how much the bank gets when it sells the house. If they cover their mortgage and costs, the 2nd mortgage will be paid.
no

In a home mortgage, hold harmless means that a person knows that they accept all of the risks of the home mortgage. This includes any and everything that may happen while the mortgage is being held.
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.
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.
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.
