If the total LTV between the 1st and 2nd liens add up to 100% or less, is there any way to add the 2nd to the first?

Question: If the total LTV between the 1st and 2nd liens add up to 100% or less, if the 1st lien is up to date and the 2nd lien is past due for more than 2 months, is there any way to add the 2nd to the first, even if they are with two different lien holders?

Answer: -NO. You’ll have to refinance. If the property is at 100% LTV already and the lending industry being what it is now plus having a few lates on your credit, chances are it will be very challenging to refinance this property into 1 loan.

I really like the step-by-step format and actual examples of letters, flyers, business cards, conversations, etc. that will be involved in a deal. Also, I like how you've given several ideas to accomplish the same goal. This makes it easier to enter this business picking the routes I'm most comfortable with.
