: : What would you do if you bought a junior lien on a property in a trustee sale type auction?

: All depends. How junior? How much? Costs to reinstate the senior lien(s? Equity? Good investment or merely a serious mistake? .....be more specific and someone will assist you.

I am trying to buy houses from Trustee sales in Virginia. I was successful buying one. The contract was very simple: Pay cash, all jubnior liens are wiped out...etc. I saw another Trustee sale that the foreclosure was on a second mortgage for $90K. The house is worth over $400,000. So, I was just wondering, if someone buys the house for the $90k, wouldnt he be responsible for the senior loan which is approximately 250K? I hink this is the case, but not sure. any help will be appreciated.
