My mother has a bail bond lien on her home. She is trying to get a HELOC or first mortgage. The home is fully paid for and worth $220,000. The banker at BB&T wants to get the “loan” in first position. Can someone please help and advise?
I’m not too familiar with bail bond liens, but if it were a regular lien, and the bank issueing the HELOC wanted first position, the holder of the other lien would just have to send the bank a doc saying that they will subordinate to second position in relation to the other mortgage.
also do a quick search on the forums for “Bail bond”- I seem to remember a thread in another section regarding these recently-maybe it will shed some more light on your question.
