boomer – I’m a little slow. Would you please explain to a novice such as myself who is eager to learn, what does it mean the 2nd has the option of bringing the 1st current. Does it just magically go away at foreclosure?

Wouldn’t most liens be recorded after the 1st? What would be the point of filing a lien, then, if it’ll be wiped at foreclosure? I guess it’ll only help if you sell. Answered that myself.
