Pay down the 2nd, in fact, try to pay OFF the 2nd ASAP.
Then use the monthly payment you WERE paying on the 2nd, and put it towards the 1st...you'll pay if off probably in half the time.

If the second is an ARM, pay it down / off ASAP. Those ARMS will adjust soon and you'll end up paying a lot more per month. If they're both fixed, pay down the one that has the higher interest rate..
Hope this helps,

Chances are good that your second mortage has a higher interest rate. Pay down the principle on that one first, then the principal on the original mortage.

Pay down high interest rate loans first, such as credit cards, and between the mortgages, pay down the higher interest rate first.

If both mortgages have fixed rates, pay off the one with the higher rate. If one is adjustable, and one is fixed, pay off the adjustable first.
If everything is the same, payoff the second first.

If you don't have an emergency fund, then now is the time to start one. Otherwise, pay off the second mortgage.

Use your extra cash to pay the principle of your first mortage ~ that way you have more equity on your house when you sell.
