Normally, a debtor can file bankruptcy on credit cards and keep their home, but cannot file bankruptcy on any mortgages and keep the home since even a second mortgage holder has the right to foreclose if they are not paid (this is of course assuming there aren't other issues in the case, such as too much equity to keep the home, credit cards recently incurred that are declared non-dischargeable, being behind on mortgage payments, etc.). However, the laws of the particular district in which a debtor resides may provide some exceptions to this general rule. You can get rid of a second mortgage and still keep your property if you file for Chapter 13 bankruptcy. If the debtor can show that the second mortgage is completely unsecured (i.e. the debtor owes more on the first mortgage than the real estate is worth) then you can file a mortgage stripping where the second mortgage is stripped of its lien on the property and you can pay a smaller percent on the mortgage than if it was a secured debt. (src: http://bankruptcylansingmi.com/utilizing-bankruptcy-remove-second-mortgage/ ) This same case law is not applicable in other jurisidctions, so one would have to investigate the laws of their particular district to see what options their jurisiction provides. Please note that nothing in this posting or in any other posting constitutes legal advice; this is simply my understanding of the facts, which I do not warrant, and I am not suggesting any course of action or inaction to any person but my opinion is that you should immediately consult with a chapter 13 bankruptcy attorney.
Yes, as long as the bankruptcy has been discharged, your credit score is 580+, and you earn enough income to support the additional loan.
If they have good credit and the ability to repay. Most people who own multiple homes have multiple mortgages.
A foreclosure or bankruptcy is never good for your credit, this is something you'd be better off discussing with an attorney. You can avoid foreclosure by filing bankruptcy.
It depends on what you want to do with the house secured by the second mortgage and which chapter of bankruptcy you file. First, regarding the credit cards, yes you can always file on multiple credit cards so long as they were not used in anticipation of bankruptcy. Generally it is a good idea to wait at least 90 days since any card was used before filing the bankruptcy case, and DO NOT make any charges once you think you may file bankruptcy. The run-up-the-cards-before-filing-bankruptcy technique many people think is so clever may be deemed fraud and can result in a federal lawsuit (called an Adversary Proceeding) and repayment of the debt plus attorneys fees. Second, regarding the second mortgage: If you want to keep the home, the second mortgage must be kept also UNLESS you are filing Chapter 13 AND the amount of the first mortgage exceeds the value of the home at the time of filing. So, in the vast majority of cases, if you file bankruptcy you are stuck with all mortgages if you want to keep the home. By way of example of the rare instance when a junior mortgage can be discharged in bankruptcy, say your home is worth $100,000, and you owe $101,000 on your first mortgage. If you file Chapter 13 (repayment plan), you can "strip" the second mortgage (and third, fourth, etc) since the amount owed on the first mortgage exceeds the value of the home. In Chapter 7, you have to keep all mortgages regardless of the value. Another example, say you owe $99,999 on the first mortgage and the home is worth $100,000, and you have a second mortgage on which you owe $50,000. The entire $50,000 second mortgage survives no matter what chapter of bankruptcy you file because it is secured by $1. Yes, only $1 can commit you to the entire second mortgage. Please note that nothing in this posting or in any other posting constitutes legal advice; this is simply my understanding of the facts and law, which I do not warrant, and I am not suggesting any course of action or inaction to any person. Speak to a lawyer for specific advice. If you have any questions, please refer to a lawyer in your jurisdiction. Thanks!

Never get a second mortgage --- only if you want to keep your house. 2nd mortgagees can foreclose on you

Better consult an Attorney in your jurisdiction for the same.
Yes, you can still get a loan even if you have bad credit from a bankruptcy. Everyone deserves a second chance.
A second mortgage comes in two forms: home equity and lines of credit. It might be necessary to take out a second mortgage to pay for extensive repairs and remodeling or your home, of if you need a line of credit in a emergency.
Yes...those factors make no difference.
There are many places where one can apply for a second mortgage with bad credit. This includes lenders such as Norton Finance, YBS Online and Vanquis.
