No. They are liens on the property. Typically what happens is the property will be foreclosed and sold. The liens, including the mortgage, will be paid off in the order of being placed. Once all liens are paid off, if there is any money left over, there might be some money for the owner.
A Different PerspectiveLien priority is important in a foreclosure procedure. That's why a lender who loans a considerable amount of money on a home secured by a mortgage seeks to be in first place and will often require other lenders to subordinate their liens.Lien priority depends on the time of recording except for property tax liens which take priority over every other type of lien, even a first mortgage. The foreclosing lender takes the property subject to any lien recorded prior to the mortgage being foreclosed. The foreclosing lender must pay off those senior liens. Any lien recorded after the mortgage is a junior creditor and that lien gets wiped out as of record and will not affect the title to the real estate for any future owner. One exception is IRS liens which do not get wiped out and must be paid to clear the title to the property.
Junior creditors can go after the debtor personally but they will have no interest in the real estate.

Are liens paid with foreclosure?
That depends on what the outstanding balance of your loan is, the value of your home, and how much the bank will settle for. There are actually companies that will work with you for free to buy your mortgage away from your mortgage company and avoid your foreclosure. I would advise looking into this first.
After chapter 7 bankruptcy second mortgage was reaffirmed but not first mortgage if there is a foreclosure who gets their money?
In a foreclosure, creditors are paid in the order of their liens. A first motgage is paid first. Anything left over goes to the second, and if there is still anything left of proceeds, it goes to the third or to the debtor. Taxes and other municipal liens are paid before anything else.

If you are in foreclosure for your first mortgage are you still responsible for the second mortgage if there is a second mortgage on the property?
If your first mortgage is in the process of foreclosure that foreclosure will extinguish the second mortgage as to the real estate. The foreclosure of the first mortgage terminates all subsequent interests in the real estate. After the foreclosure the real estate can be sold free and clear of any subsequent mortgages or liens. However, the debtor remains responsible for the second mortgage debt.Any remaining proceeds from the foreclosure sale after the first mortgage is satisfied are paid toward the second mortgage. In some states the second mortgagee can seek a "deficiency judgment" in court against the debtor. However, even when possible it's not often done due to the costs and the slim probability the debtor will have the ability to pay.You should check your state laws.

If you purchased a home and the first loan was not enough for the sale you were forced to get a 2nd and the 1st was foreclosed on Is the second considered and unsecured loan or still a lien?
The answer may be different in different states but, in general, foreclosure of a lien discharges all junior liens (i.e., the second mortgage) to the extent the proceeds from the foreclosure sale are insufficient to cover the junior liens. There is still a debt owed, but the property, having been sold in foreclosure, is free of all liens junior to the one that was foreclosed.
Can you put a lien on a house that is in foreclosure?
