Re: second mortage
While I do not practice foreclosure law, I can tell you this is possible. If a lender lends you money and you fail to pay, they can enforce their rights whether they are a first or second mortgage holder.
You should contact a local attorney who handles foreclosures for help as soon as possible. They may be able to convince the second mortgage holder to work with you.
