Subordinate Mortgage

Junior Mortgage
A junior mortgage, also known as a second mortgage or subordinate mortgage, is a mortgage loan that is subordinate to another loan against the same property. In the event of default and foreclosure, the holder of the junior mortgage is only repaid after the senior mortgage and any other prior liens have been settled.
