Need Advice: What happens to the second mortgage after the home is foreclosed. Does the 2nd mortgage disappear

We Answered:

Although the foreclosure may have eliminated all of the junior liens, the loans continue to exist. The mortgage is the security interest in the property, that secures the amount due on the loan. Even when a mortgage is removed, if the loan is not satisfied, the loan remains due and payable. The loan and the mortgage are two separate documents.

What happens to a second mortgage when a home is purchased at a foreclosure auction?

We Answered:

When a senior lien forecloses, a junior lien is wiped out.

So if the first mortgage holder forecloses, the second trust deed goes away. If the second forecloses, you'll still owe the first.

Oftentimes, if a senior lien forecloses, the junior lien holder will send a representative to the auction to defend its interests by making sure the property goes for enough to pay the junior lien as well. Or they buy it themselves with the idea of reselling. Costs money, yes. But better than losing their whole investment.

Debbie Said:

I want to take second mortgage to buy a new home?

We Answered:

Yes!!!!! unless you can't afford it or qualify for the loan. I would use one as a rental. When you chose a home to use as a rental you should take different things into account than if you plan on living in it.

Your rental should be as low maintenance as possible. Do not expect a renter to maintain a home like you would as the owner. Also do your research and make sure it is rent-able.

We would like to rent our primary mortgage and purchase a second home?

We Answered:

If you are buying a new home for use a primary home, you could qualify for a FHA mortgage loan with the down payment being as low as 3.5%. You must present a rental contract for your old house as proof that you will be using your new house as your primary residence.

In order to find out the type of loan programs you are qualified for you will have to fill out a loan application, with a mortgage broker, of which you can find one in your local telephone book.

Make sure this mortgage broker or mortgage banker is able to do government loans such as FHA and VA loans if you qualify for one.

He will fill out this application, which takes awhile so grab your favorite beverage and sit down. Once you have completed the application, he will run your credit report which will have your credit scores. These credit scores will determine your interest rate.

The amount of your monthly debt payments you are required to pay as per your credit report and the amount of mortgage you can take on based on your income will determine the amount of house you will be able to purchase.

When you speak with the mortgage broker you will need the following documents to complete the loan application, there will be others, but this will get you started.

#1 One month of pay stubs for each person that will be on the mortgage.

#2 Six months bank statements from each bank in which you bank as well as statements from any 401K from you place of employment.

#3 Two years of federal income tax along with the W-2 that match.

Once he has all that he need to do he can then issue you a pre-approval letter so you can purchase a home. In this pre-approval letter will be the amount of house you are qualified to purchased.

Once he gives you this pre-approval you may now find a real estate agent to find yourself a home or he might have a referral.

Now make sure before you get your pre-approval you and your mortgage broker go over all your options as to the mortgage programs you qualify for, the interest rate, monthly payments.

If you are getting a FHA, fixed rate, two loans to eliminate PMI like an 80/20 or one loan, if you are qualified for and approved for a 100% loan.

You should select the loan that best suit your financial condition at the time. That could be an adjustable rate loan. It could be a fixed rate loan for 5 or 10 years and then adjust. Some adjustable rate mortgages only adjust once.

Make sure your mortgage broker explain all your options so you may make an intelligent decision.

What might be good for one person might not be good for you, in other words just because your friends and all your real estate buddies are telling you about the great fixed rate they got, your financial situation might call for something else.

So select the best option for you and your financial situation.

You should also get a Good Faith Estimate (GFE) which will indicate the cost you will have to pay for getting this loan. It will also indicate the amount of your down payment.

Once you have found a home the real estate agent will then prepare a contract for you and the seller to sign.

Your mortgage broker will now order an appraisal to show proof of the property value.

The mortgage broker might ask for additional information or documentation, don't get all up tight this is normal, just supply the information or find the documents needed.

After the appraisal has been completed you will be called by your mortgage broker to sign your loan docs so you can take possession of your new home.

Before signing any loan docs make sure they say exactly what you and your mortgage broker went over when you decided on what mortgage program was best for you.

I hope this has been of some use to you, good luck

Ricardo Said:

I have a mortgage on one home, can I get a second mortgage to pay for another house?

We Answered:

That depends on a few things.

How much equity do you have in your current home?

What is your credit score?
What is your debt load?

Yes you can get a 2nd mortgage on your current home to buy another, people do it all the time.

Your income must support maintaining your current home (you should be able to get a renter in there to offset the mortgage payment or some portion there of) and support your new mortgage.

You can get a loan with a BK. Many lenders require it to be discharged for 2 years, however, there are still a few lenders that will lend on a BK only being discharged 1 day.

In a nutshell, yes you can, if all your other ducks are in a row.

Good luck
