I sold a property and carried back a small mortgage. The local bank has the larger amount of mortgage. My mortgage was recorded 1st at the register of deeds office in Michigan.
Do I have a 1st mortgage or a 2nd???

first is first, second is second...the order of recordation determines who is first and who is second.
