The flip side of this coin is that if the house is actually foreclosed upon and goes to auction, the second mortgage holder could get nothing. They are therefor often willing to be bought out cheap.

The flip side is the first holder of mortage has more to lose .

It's all a negotiation. Each party looking out for there own best interest. You never can predict how it's going to end.
