Say the 2nd mortgage is substantially less than the value of the house. Let’s say the value of the house is at $300k, and the first mortgage (the one on the house) has $40K left. You take out a home equity of $20k. What happens if you default on the home equity, since they can not foreclose on your house since the value is much higher than the borrowed amount.
