Don't house loans require an upfront disclosure of leins against the property?

Yes. There might be a state where someone holding a lien on a house can prevent a first mortgage holder from foreclosing, but I'd certainly recommend someone talking to an attorney before trying this.

This would only work in an "easy money" period, during which loan originators are eager to ignore lending standards on second mortgages. Such periods will come around again, though.
