You can't subordinate a mortgage. One bank, the senior lender, sometimes subordinates their mortgage to a bank who is giving the homeowner a new mortgage. The subordination gives the new mortgage first place and the old mortgage becomes the second mortgage.

If a bank refinances a first mortgage and there is a second mortgage on the property who does the first mortgage belong too?
The new bank in which the refinance mortgage loan has been taken from becomes the new owner of the first mortgage at the closing table. As for the second mortgage, the second mortgage holder remains the same. Before the first mortgage can close with the new lender, however, they must agree to re-subordinate the second mortgage along with their new one. It is not uncommon. I hope this information helps. Best of luck! Regards, Total Mortgage Services
Why are interest rates on a 2nd mortgage higher than on a primary mortgage?
A second mortgage is generally riskier for a lender because the second mortgage is subordinate to the primary loan. This means that if the loan defaults, the first mortgage is paid off first and the lender risks losing the money put up for the second mortgage. To cover the extra risk, there is a higher interest rate placed on the second mortage.

The only difference between a senior and a junior mortgages is the timing of when they are recorded. In rare circumstances, in the cases when a mortgage that was intended to be a second or junior mortgage is recorded first at the county recorders office, the mortgagee that was supposed to be recorded first has to get written permission from the other mortgage company to subordinate their position. Often times, this happen only when a monetary consideration is extended in return.
What are the advantages and disadvantages of 100 percent financing however having a first mortgage and subfinancing in order to get 100 financing?
The advantage to having a first and second mortgage equalling 100% financing is that you would not have to pay PMI, which would be required on a first mortgage at 100%. The second mortgage is subordinate financing, meaning it is in the second lien position on the house, and therefore does not affect the first mortgage lender's ability to persue the subject property in the event of a default on the loan. The thing to consider is that when you do this on a purchase, your first AND second mortgage lender will qualify you at the cumulative mortgage payment.
