What happens in a second mortgage foreclosure.?
A house is being foreclosed and posted in the news paper. I did a title search and the current foreclosure is for the second mortgage. Does anyone now what happens to the first loan. If I bid and won would I get the house.
I was under the impression only the first lender had the right to sell the house to secure their money and the second lender was left to fend for themselves / take it up personally with the borrower. I am confused as to why the foreclosure of the second mortgage is in the paper.
Thanks for any help.
