If you have a second mortgage but your first mortgage was foreclosed on do you still have to pay back the second or would it be rolled into the first mortgage?

Once the primary mortgage forecloses and the property is sold at auction, the 2nd mortgage becomes just another unsecured debt. If the 2nd lender received no funds from the sale of the property, then you ARE liable for the full balance of the 2nd mortgage - plus interest when it goes delinquent. Use care, this will differ depending on the state, but it's not uncommon for the 2nd mortgage note holder to use any means necessary to get back their loan amount, including foreclosure. Often a second mortgage note holder will attempt to purchase the primary note.
One potential issue can play out as follows: * A homeowner finds themselves in financial trouble. * They successfully negotiate a payment plan with their primary lender, but remain in default against their second mortgage loan. * The second lien holder then purchases the primary mortgage (which is still in good standing) and forecloses. * Homeowner finds themselves losing their home to the 2nd mortgage lender.

What happens to second mortgage if first mortgage is foreclosed?
If the first mortgage is foreclosed the second mortgage lien gets wiped off the property by the foreclosure so the property can be sold free and clear of the second mortgage. However, the mortgagor still owes the debt to the lender and the lender can pursue collection of the amount due by a civil lawsuit.
When a second mortgage is in foreclosure does the first mortgage show as a foreclosure?
No, they are two separate loans. If the second mortgage is foreclosed the lender takes possession of the property subject to the first mortgage. The borrower no longer owns the property.
Can 2nd mortgage collect after auction?
No. Once the first mortgage or deed of trust is foreclosed, the second mortgage and any inferior liens are voided.
What happens to the first mortgage when the second mortgage forecloses?
AnswerThe first mortgage would have the first position on the lien. So if the second mortgage company foreclosed on the property - they would sell the property and the sale proceeds must go to pay off the first mortgage company first. Then, if there is anything left over, that money goes to the second mortgage company.For example, there is a first mortgage of 100,000 and a second mortgage of 40,000. The property is foreclosed and sold for 125,000. The first mortgage gets paid off (100,000) and the second mortgage company gets the remaining 25,000.The property owner still owes the second mortgage company the other 15,000.--------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------Not true. Maybe different laws in different states but here the 2nd mortgage foreclosure sale does not directly effect the 1st mortgage. It remains a lien.

Your home recently foreclosed you had a first and second loan The first loan handled the foreclosure487k now you are left with the second loan 117K What happens now?
When your home is foreclosed on, the first or second can start the process. If you have a first mortgage and a second mortgage, your first mortgage is the first lien holder. Therefore if the second was first to foreclose they would have to pay the balance or negotiate the balance (agree to lower payoff). When a home is foreclosed on, all debts against the home are extinguished.Normally in a foreclosure the first mortgage will not negotiate with the second mortgage, in this instance the second mortgage would be out of the picture. VALUE (appraisal) plays a huge role in this process.

Can a second mortgage put a lien on a home that is not foreclosed but I owned as a primary home however since foreclosure the first mortgage was paid its full amount and the second mortgage nothing?
A second mortgage already has a lien on the home. If you don't pay the second mortgage they will foreclose and take the home. By paying off the first mortgage you just make it easier for the bank to get their money back out of the property when they sell it.

How long can a second mortgage company try to collect on a foreclosed loan?
This answer will vary by state and depends on the situation. In one-action states such as California, if a lender foreclosed they cannot pursue the borrower further. If a first foreclosed the second is free to persue the borrower. In California the statute of limitations for collection of a debt is 7 years.
What recourse does a second mortgage holder have when the first mortgage goes into foreclosure?
Hate to tell you, but in my state (WA), if a senior deed of trust or mortgage is foreclosed, then the inferior/junior mortgages and/or deeds of trust are foreclosed as well. That means that you have no recourse subsequent to a foreclosure. I suggest seeing an attorney immediately (see the phone book for one who gives "free consultations").
Second bank recorded mortgage before first bank and now only the first bank is foreclosing home in NYC and so does second bank have interest in home that is foreclosed by first bank given these facts?
Yes, second has priority and their lien will survive the forclosure of a junior lien.
