Sometimes. Depends on local laws and the wording in the contract. However, if they do force a foreclosure, the primary lienholder gets paid first.
Normally yes they will be able to
Yes
The first, as the name implies, has FIRST right to recover.
A junior mortgage holder can foreclose on your home, however, they would need to gave first position by buying out the senior lien holder. Most junior lien holders will not pay off a senior lien holder unless you have allot of equity in this property. A foreclosure can cost several thousands of dollars to process and unless the junior lien holder can recover their balance, plus the first mortgage pay off, and legal fees, they typically will not foreclose the property.
