Hi Therena,

It means that a second lien holder is kept in that particular position if the first changes in any way.

For Example, If you have a first mortgage and a second mortgage and you just refinanced the first, you would then re-subordinate the second to leave it alone.

I hope this helps

    When you refinance ONLY the first mortgage, and there’s a second mortgage on the property, it has to be checked out that the second mortgage is okay with the terms of the new first. Many times there is no issue.
