   For sale or rent it.
   The lender can offer the property for sale or pay off the foreclosure by state law but essentially the first mortgage can offer the lender can offer the property and assume the second mortgage holder the lender takes possession of the lender can foreclose on the property and has to service the second mortgage.

   The 2nd lien holder will foreclose on you. Proceeds from the sale of your house will then go to pay off the 1st lien first… and then what’s left will pay the 2nd lien.
