Second mortgages
Why would a bank or anyone take a second mortgage? If things go bad wont the first lien holder get everything? The only thing I can think of is that the market value of the property hopefully increases past the money due the first mortgage holder. I am just wondering for education purposes. Thank you to all who answer.
