What happens to an investment property foreclosure that’s under your personal name?

August 13th, 2008 by Jarad S.

Question: What happens to an investment property foreclosure that’s under your personal name? Can they go after your personal assets, home, etc? Under Illinois law.

Answer: -As with all states, it depends on what’s in the agreement with you and the bank. Just look at the closing docs and it should specify what happens. For most lenders, the property is sufficient collateral for the loan or they wouldn’t be loaning you the money in the first place, so they don’t come after you for anything else. However, since I don’t invest in Illinois nor am I familiar with all their laws, you may want to get a 2nd opinion with a local attorney.

I liked how you put together state statues. I have spent much time at a law library looking the law up and you had it all in one place. The cost of your book was cheaper than all the gas I spent and hours of not understanding how to read legal jargen and to make sure the information I was gathering was up to date and accurate. Thanks

After reading your book, my desire and motivation heightened! In fact I sent out 100 letters to pre-foreclosure sellers in my first week after reading it. I took immediate ACTION! Your book is very motivational in that it made me feel like, even though I'm new to this potentially very lucrative business--I can do it!
