Hi
@albator159
,
A second mortgage is simply another mortgage on a property, where the lender has presumably less security in the loan than the primary lender. However in Quicken you should record it as a mortgage. For your own purposes in Quicken you can include "(Second Mortgage)" in the account title.
Let me know of you have any followups.

I did a house and set value to 0.00 and a mortgage. Would that work?

Presumably, yes that would work. But there isn't a requirement, in Quicken, that a mortgage loan be associated with a house or any asset. Quicken has a "routine" that users (especially new users of Quicken) can use that will take you down that path, but you can setup a loan at any time without also entering an asset (in this case a "house").
The easier route is as follows:
1) Click on "Tools" > "Add Account"
2) In the "Property &Debt section of the pop-up > Click "Loan"
3) Then either:
a) Enter the name of your Loan Provider - and follow the next steps, OR
b) Click the "manual loan account" at the bottom of the pop-up
4) Continue through the process.
