[23]
for any real estate or mortgage
[25]
professional to understand as well as
[27]
anyone looking to refinance their
[29]
property especially when they have two
[31]
mortgage loans such as a 30-year home
[34]
loan and a home equity line of credit
[36]
after this video you'll understand how
[38]
subordination agreements work how
[40]
they're executed who are the parties
[42]
involved and what you need to know when
[44]
dealing with one in order to understand
[46]
how subordination works first we need to
[48]
understand the concept of lien position
[51]
when somebody takes out a mortgage loan
[53]
the lender records a lien on the
[55]
property this lien creates a public
[57]
record that pledges the property as
[60]
security or collateral on the loan when
[63]
a property has multiple liens such as in
[65]
the case of a home mortgage loan and a
[68]
home equity line of credit the liens are
[70]
prioritized in order of when the lien
[74]
was recorded a lien that was recorded
[77]
first is considered a senior lien and
[80]
any liens recorded after that are
[82]
considered junior liens so what does
[84]
this matter well in the event of
[86]
foreclosure or bankruptcy if the
[89]
property has to be sold
[91]
the proceeds from that sale that are
[93]
used to pay off the creditors are paid
[96]
in order of lien position so the senior
[99]
lender gets paid first and then if there
[101]
are any proceeds left over then the
[103]
first junior lien holder will get paid
[106]
and so on after the senior lender's been
[108]
paid if there aren't enough proceeds to
[111]
satisfy the lien for the junior lender
[113]
the lien is extinguished and the junior
[116]
lean holder needs to pursue other means
[118]
to collect from the borrower this is the
[120]
reason why second mortgages usually have
[123]
a higher interest rate than a first
[125]
mortgage because the second lien holder
[128]
needs to be compensated for the higher
[130]
risk due to their junior lean position
[133]
subordination comes into play when a
[136]
borrower wants to refinance their first
[139]
mortgage after a second mortgage or a
[142]
home equity line has been put in place
[144]
let's use an example of a homeowner who
[146]
takes out a 30-year fixed-rate loan then
[150]
a couple years later
[151]
they take out a home equity line of
[153]
credit let's say after a few years the
[156]
borrower wants to refinance their
[158]
30-year loan with a new loan because say
[160]
interest rates went down if the borrower
[162]
wants to refinance their original loan
[166]
then the new loan would technically now
[168]
be junior to the home equity line of
[170]
credit typically the new lender is not
[173]
going to want to take a junior position
[175]
when refinancing the original senior
[177]
loan so what they do is when they go to
[180]
pay off this loan they have the junior
[182]
lien holder sign a
[185]
subordination agreement
[187]
that effectively takes the junior lien
[189]
and puts it junior to the new loan which
[192]
now becomes the senior debt now that the
[195]
home equity line of credit has been
[197]
subordinated to the new loan the new
[200]
lender who is refinanced will be first
[203]
lean position and will be first in line
[205]
to get paid in the event of foreclosure
[207]
or bankruptcy most subordination
[209]
agreements are pretty seamless and
[210]
standard people refinance their
[212]
mortgages all the time so junior lenders
[216]
or home equity lenders are quite
[218]
accustomed to subordinating to that new
[221]
senior debt
[222]
if they refused to subordinate
[225]
people would either be more hesitant to
[227]
borrow from these lenders who are in the
[229]
business of making loans or they would
[232]
get paid off
[233]
by the borrower and then they would be
[236]
forced to go find a new borrower to
[239]
redeploy that capital it actually serves
[241]
them better to subordinate to the new
[244]
senior loan so they're back in the same
[246]
position that they were before and
[247]
they're still earning that higher rate
[249]
of interest that they were often times
[252]
when a subordination is happening if the
[255]
original lender and the home equity
[256]
lender are the same institution the
[259]
borrower doesn't even really know what's
[260]
happening until they're required to sign
[262]
the subordination agreement along with
[264]
the lenders at the closing of the
[266]
refinance however it's quite common that
[269]
the
[270]
new lender and the home equity line of
[272]
credit lender are different in that case
[275]
the two institutions will have to
[277]
collaborate on the subordination
[279]
agreement and work together to draft the
[281]
paperwork some lenders might charge a
[283]
subordination fee or other fees or
[286]
possibly even require a new appraisal
[289]
when those two lenders are different
[291]
companies quite often delays can occur
[294]
so it's important as a borrower to
[296]
understand that a subordination
[298]
agreement needs to be signed and help
[301]
make sure that that process goes
[303]
smoothly by communicating with both
[305]
lenders and making sure that they are
[307]
aware of what their responsibilities are
[309]
so let's recap those steps when borrower
[312]
takes out their first loan a senior lien
[314]
is recorded
[316]
when they take out their second loan
[318]
such as in the home equity line a junior
[320]
lien is recorded
[322]
when the borrower wants to refinance the
[325]
senior loan with a new loan
[328]
the new lender requires the junior lien
[330]
holder to sign a subordination agreement
[333]
when that new lien is recorded the
[336]
subordination agreement is recorded as
[338]
well
[339]
and so the
[340]
home equity lender is now once again in
[342]
the junior position and the refinance
[345]
lender is in the senior position if you
