Many people misunderstand the 2nd mortgage foreclosure and how it works in reference to the 1st mortgage foreclosure. Any time there are two mortgages on your home, the first mortgage always takes precedence over the second mortgage. The same is true with a 1st and 2nd mortgage foreclosure. Some people misunderstand what this means. They feel that since their first mortgage takes precedence over their second mortgage, they don’t have to worry about staying current with their second mortgage as much as their first. They couldn’t be more wrong with their thinking. If you become delinquent on your second mortgage, the lender can initiate 2nd mortgage foreclosure proceedings against your home. You can lose your home even if you’re current on the first mortgage. When a home becomes foreclosed, it is repossessed and usually sold at auction to the highest bidder. If your second mortgage is in default and you lose your home to a 2nd mortgage foreclosure, the first mortgage will still take precedence. When your home is sold as a result of the foreclosure, the proceeds will go to the lender of the first mortgage to cover the balance that is due to them. Whatever

One might be wondering why some lenders turn down a mortgage application while some others might consider it fit for approval. The answer may well lie in the credit report and the credit score to be precise which plays a crucial role in loan sanctioning. Credit history is an important factor affecting loan granting decisions by the lender or mortgagee. As part of the pre-approval process a detailed investigation is carried out into your financial history whereby the lender assesses your finances, your credit history and your investments. Your debt ratios are compared with the lender's standard while deciding on the loan approval. Your level of debt or credit history is taken as a parameter for judging your ability to make the monthly repayments. The credit history as represented by your credit report plays a very crucial role since some lending institutions may even turn you down because of incompatibility with their lending standards. Too much debt and poor credit rating is

A 125% home equity loan (also known as no equity loans, 125 home equity loans and 125 loans) is a second mortgage that requires no equity but the loan allows you to borrow up to 125% more than the current combined loan to value (CLTV) ratio of your home. The CLTV is the proportion of more than one loan secured by your home in relation to its value. This is different than loan to value (LTV), which only involves the proportion of a single loan in relation to its value. Wikipedia provides these examples to help people understand the difference between LTV and CLTV: Loan To Value: Property valued at $200,000.00 1st mortgage = $180,000.00 LTV = 90% Combined Loan To Value: Property valued at $200,000.00 1st mortgage = $180,000.00 2nd mortgage = $45,000.00 $225,000 Total mortgage
