subject: Effects Of Defaulting On Miami Luxury Homes Second Mortgage [print this page] Credit
Just like defaulting on the primary mortgage, if you fail to pay the second mortgage on your Miami luxury home, your credit will suffer. Once you start missing on your payment, your lender, regardless if the first or second, will typically report the delinquency to the three credit bureaus. This will automatically reflect on your credit report and pull down your FICO rating. This will only happen, though, if you continuously miss your payments. The notice of the default also usually comes up after 30, 60 or 90 days due.
Once your debt enters the collection agency, your credit score will plummet even more. If your mortgage is adjustable, you can expect your interest rates and payments to increase as results of the lower credit score.
Foreclosure
Generally, your second lender cannot immediately foreclose your Miami luxury home if you default on your payment because they dont have the deed of the property. They can, however, try to recover their losses by purchasing the first mortgage you have with your primary lender. They can do this even if your first mortgage is up-to-date. If they are successful in buying your first mortgage, they can force your home into foreclosure. Eventually, this will result in the liquidation of your asset in order to allow your second lender to recover the losses from the default second mortgage.
Bankruptcy
Bankruptcy is another possibility of defaulting in your second mortgage. This is especially true if you rely too much on your home equity as a safety net for your financial troubles. Many buyers who have significant equity in their homes but not much asset often find themselves scrambling for support once their equity dips low enough to leave only a small fraction of the previous net worth.
If this happens to you, the debt on the Miami luxury home will most likely become unaffordable. The problem will significantly increase if you have other debts that you need to pay. Eventually, youll be forced to liquidate your assets in order to fix the financial disaster.
