Mortgage Foreclosure Can Mean Deficiency Judgment
Many Florida homeowners facing foreclosure do not realize that they might still owe money to the mortgage lender long after a foreclosed property has been sold.
Lenders can obtain a “deficiency judgment” against a homeowner, which is the difference between the homeowner’s outstanding mortgage balance and the value that a bank receives after a foreclosure or short sale.
News Channel 10 has an interesting video about Florida homeowners and deficiency judgments.
