In Florida, I hold a 2nd mortgage for an individual who is 2 months behind in payments. What are my options regarding Liens?
Can I attach other property or does it have to be the property to which the mortgage pertains?

Is it better to roll-in your closing costs or get a 2nd mortgage to cover them?

Cookie On My Mind asked:
We just closed on our townhome this past Friday. We ended up with less money than we had hoped for because the closing costs were so high. We’re due to close on our new single family home August 10th and those closing costs are going to be higher than we planned for too! Anyway, we’re going to be about $4,000 short on closing costs for the new house. Is it better to roll it in to the mortgage or get a 2nd mortgage on top of the first? Not sure how this works. Thanks.

if I transfer a 2nd mortgage to a credit card with a lower APR, can I still deduct the interest for taxes?

Nostalgic asked:
the rate is lower… 4.9 vs 8.5, and it is fixed. I can always leave the 2nd mortgage line open and transfer the money back if i default and they jack the rate.

My friend currently has an ARM mortgage and is in bankruptcy. She needs to know if there is anyway for her to get a second mortgage or to refinance the mortgage she has right now while going through bankruptcy. I told her I didn’t believe she would be able until after the bankruptcy but I would check around anyway. Thanks in advance all.

If a 2nd mortgage was included in a bankruptcy and discharged. Do they still have a claim to the property?

howi_how asked:
We filed bankruptcy a year ago. We left out the first mortgage but included the second mortgage (home equity line of credit). It has been discharged, no one contested it and we haven’t received a statement or any other communication from them since. We want to sell the house now to our daughter. Does that 2nd mortgage company still have a claim to the property?

If I want to combine my 1st and 2nd mortgage what type of loan would that be?

whattheheck asked:
If we refinance and combine our 1st mortgage and our home equity line, what type of loan is that called. I don’t want to call a mortgage place right now because they will run our credit and all that stuff. Also would we qualify for the low rates that are being advertised if we have good credit?

Question about selling home with 2nd mortgage and buying a new one?
Filed Under mortgage | 4 Comments
punkinbutt’smama asked:
My husband and I are contemplating buying a new home. We have only owned the one we have now for 1 year. We also have a second mortgage. My question is - will the proceeds first be used to pay off the second mortgage before they would be subject to capital gains tax? What happens if we don’t get enough in the sale of our home to pay off the second mortage completely? If we have money left over, what can we do to avoid the capital gains tax on it?

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

alvin asked:
Unfortunately my home was foreclosed and I tought, the 1st and 2nd mortgage disappears and the procces will ended. But suddenly I started receiving calls from the bank lender of the 2nd mortgage. They said I still owed them even if the home was foreclosed and if I didn’t pay them, they will reported to the IRS, so they can charge it off on my paycheck. It’s that true. Need some advice. Thank You!!
