If you are up and current on your 1st mortgage and your 1st mortgage is 75% of your homes value, can a second mortgage with only %25 of value foreclose on you and obtain the property?
I know they can lien against the home, but not quite sure on the actual obtaining the property.

I know the market is not good for selling, but I am trying to get rid of my second mortgage, which is not too big, and get a better home at the same time.
I mean I am intending on selling my home. I won’t buy another home and continue to live in my own; I’d sell and then buy one.

I am interested in buying a home in Virginia and it is more than the VA ceiling of $417,000. Can I use a second mortgage to make up the difference between the $417,000 and the sale price?

I’m going on 3 months past due now on my mortgage. In other words my home is going into forclosure. I have a second mortgage that I am gonig on 2 months past due. I’m unable to catch up on my home mortgage. I want to know should I continue to pay the second mortgage? I already know that forclosure is in the making. Don’t the second mortgage get paid first when the home is sold. (Florida)

Two mortgages on forclosing home, will second come after my equity on my primary home that I own out right or retirement money I have in the bank in forms of cd’s?

Have a $9500 second loan on house and would like to buy another. Need to sell the first one and getting rid of 2nd mortgage could make a big difference in it selling quickly. Any advice other than renting first home?

I didn’t sign the “LOCK-IN-AGREEMENT” for my second mortgage,if rates go down tomorrow,12/11/07,can I request a lower rate?

I’m selling a rental house and will hold a $26,000 private second mortgage for the buyers. Will the government tax me on this as money I received at the closing? Even though it is just paper? Or will I pay captial gains on any amount above my basis only when I get the payments from the purchaser? Basically, does taking paper look the same to the IRS as getting paid in cash?

A house is being foreclosed and posted in the news paper. I did a title search and the current foreclosure is for the second mortgage. Does anyone now what happens to the first loan. If I bid and won would I get the house.

I was under the impression only the first lender had the right to sell the house to secure their money and the second lender was left to fend for themselves / take it up personally with the borrower. I am confused as to why the foreclosure of the second mortgage is in the paper.

Thanks for any help.

I am going to bid on a house at foreclosure and it has a 1st mortgage of $280K and a second of $70K. The lender on the first two mortgages is Decision One Mortgage. The lender at foreclosure is Countrywide. Does this mean that if I buy this house at foreclosure that I will own additional money to the second mortgage or just the first mortgage and back taxes?
