bought a house. with 80/20 loan. spouse is on the first but am on the second loan. we are unable to make payments. can the lender come after me for the first loan even if am not on it?. am i responsible for the first loan?
We did an 80-20 loan we are the 2nd mortgage, Basically we borrowed the equity in our home to the purchaser. We also bought a new home. I do our taxes myself and I am lost. Because we didn’t really gain all of that money she has 5 years to repay the 20% and is currently only paying an intrest only loan. which she really isn’t paying that either. I am so lost I just don’t know how to fill out our federal tax forms… SOMEONE PLEASE HELP!!!!!!!!
I believe you are responsible for both loans since you are married. You may want to contact your lender about revising your loans. If you have in the past been making prompt payments and are just having some temporary problems, you may be able to work out an alternative payment plan. Most people wait to hear from the lender but sometimes you have better luck working things out if you contact them first.

LikeDislikeno but if you foreclose the first lien holder gets the house and resells it and if there isn’t enough to cover the loans for both then the second will come after you so you are screwed in any way. Try to sell before this happens or ask for a loan modification from these lenders

LikeDislikeYou have confused the matter. If I understand correctly, YOU sold a home and took back a second mortgage on the home equal to 20% of the value of the property. This 2nd mortgage is interest only, for 5 years. If this is correct, you report the interest, payments as income. The principal is not recorded as anything, until paid.
The tax laws require you to either pay the principal paid on the loan to your current home mortgage or pay tax on long term capital gain.
If the buyers of the property does not keep the 2nd mortgage current, make sure that you keep in touch with the holder of the first mortgage. You have one of the problems that I just love having.
