``Above is a list of states and the home equity and 2nd lien defaults for said states. For those who don't know, 2nd lien loans (of which include HELOCS, piggy backs, home equity loans, etc.) are 2nd in line when it comes to liquidation rights under foreclosure. If the loan was made with a high LTV (let's say 90% combined LTV, with the first loan made at 85% LTV), in an area that has even a modest (these days, anyway) decline in value of 10% year over year, then you effectively have a 100% loan with [no] equity.''
