It's like if you needed $5000 to buy a car, and you borrowed $3000 from your father and $2000 from your uncle.

The difference between what your home is worth and the total principle you still owe is called equity. As you continue to make payments, and the value of your house appreciates, your equity grows. That equity can be used as collateral; you can borrow against it.

Can ex-wife refinance with a different mortgage company if the house has 2 mortgages on it the first mortgage is in his name only and the 2nd mortgage is in both names but both names are on the deed?

Yes, If the house was given to you in the divorcee. You will also need to have a quick claim deed done and he will need to sign it. Both mortgages will have to be included in the refi, because they are both tied to the property.

If a tenant stays in a rental house for a longer time. Does he has the right to become the owner of the house?

Most likely not: if you're paying rent on a house you could live there forever and still not own the house. I lived in a house for 17 1/2 years as a tenant before I moved out: I don't own it. He has the right to become the owner if the true owner agrees to put the house up for sell. But then again there is no point. You would be safer as a homeowner rather than renting the house, because if the owner all of the sudden wants the house for something then they might kick you out and you will have no where else to go. And yes renting is probably cheaper than owning the house but you will have no worries of something like that happening.
