What happens to the 2nd?

What happens to the 2nd?

If I negotiate a purchase from the owner that barely covers the 1st, what happens to the 2nd (HELOC)? I assume that the borrower is still on the hook?

2nd mortgage

The second mortgage would not disappear. If you are negotiating a purchase for a home and your offer barely covers the first mortgage and you wanted a clear title to the home the first morgage holder would have to agree to take the loss or the seller would have to pay the diffence at closing. The second mortgage holder would have to be satisfied as well for you to have a clear title.

It appears that this may be a short sale situation if your purchase does not cover the first mortgage.
