@Morgan Chan If the 1st mtg holder signed a subordination agreement to the second lien holder (not common but it does happen) and the second lien holder forecloses….then yes, the “former” first lien holder gets wiped.

Hi Kristina,This is a common dilemma investors are facing right now when they have a high equity property with low interest rate.

My main concerns about Florida include: Chinese Drywall (very toxic; found in older homes); HOA Restrictions; Lots of people/crowds; sinkholes (properties sinking into the ground); Red tide (dead fish found on beaches due to algae bloom); Homeowners Insurance costs (w/older roofs); Mold; Hurricanes/Flooding , New construction (not always built to quality)... these are the most common issues found in the Florida market.What zip codes would you recommend for a single family investment property under 300k to mitigate these concerns?
