Question
I want to sell my home in San Diego, but I’m afraid the bank might sue me for difference? Can they do that?
Answer
This is a good question that is best answered by a qualified Real Estate Attorney. In some states, such as Arizona, most people refer to as a “Non-Judgment Deficiency” state. What this means is that generally speaking if the bank forecloses on your home, they cannot pursue you for a deficiency judgment. For more specifics on this topic, please refer to the your states Revised Statutes and consult a qualified Real Estate Attorney.
It is also important to know that most Home Equity Lines of Credit (HELOC) are not just secured to your home, they are also personally “backed” by you. What this means is that even though your HELOC bank may agree to do a Short Sale or Foreclose on your home, they still may attempt to collect on your account – even after the Short Sale or Foreclosure is complete.
