If you foreclose on your 2nd home, it will not affect your primary home. It will actually free up money so you can pay your first mortgage.

If one owns the 1st home as the primary home and owns a 2nd home for family to live in - can the 2nd home still be considered as a primary residency home and not an investment property?

simple answer is no. The home can be considered as a second home if it is at least 50 miles from the primary residence. Otherwise it has to be treated as a investment.


Can a first mortgage foreclose with a second?

Yes. The second is subordinate to the first mortgage and therefore is at greater risk. If equity exists, the 2nd mortgage holder may receive payment for the debt when a senior lender forecloses. If there is not, then their lien on the property is wiped out and they must pursue the borrower in another fashion (such as a lawsuit). If the 2nd mortgage lender does not want the 1st lender to foreclose, they may choose to pay the 1st mortgage current before the foreclosure proceeds and attempt to collect or foreclose themselves.


How would one apply for 2nd home mortgages?

Application for a second mortgage is much the same as for the first. The primary difference is that with the application for a second mortgage, most major incentive plans such as the Home Affordable Refinance Package (HARP) are not available.


What happens to the first mortgage when the second mortgage is foreclosed on?

It depends....the 2nd mortgage holder can buy out your first mortgage and then foreclose on the entire property , the chances are higher of this happening is the 2nd mortgage is kinda large or if they are held by the same lender. If the 2nd mortgage holder decides not to buy the first mortgage out then typically nothing with happen because the first mortgage holder is in control. The 2nd mortgage cannot foreclose on the first mortgage so keep the first mortgage payments current.If the 2nd does not buyout the first then the lien with remain on the property and you will be require to pay it off if you sell or refinance the property down the road.Mortgage loan officer PAIn Texas the law is: http://www.avvo.com/legal-answers/tx-foreclosure-second-trust-deed-4498.html


Can a primary mortgage be classified as a home equity loan?

Yes. There are 2 ways to refer to a mortgage loan: 1) Lien position on the title (1st mortgage, 2nd mortgage) 2) Product type (loan type: 1st mortgage, home equity loan, home equity credit line) If you only need to borrow $10,000 for example, this will not meet the minimum loan amount for a first mortgage with most lenders. Therefore you may obtain a "home equity loan" which is more often used as a second mortgage, but it will be the primary loan on the home.

The key here is this. Is the second purchase your PRIMARY residence? If you live in the home 24/7...not a vacation home...you use this address for your mail and primary residence, then it IS your primary residence. That fulfills the obligation in the rules for the tax credit.
