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.

Finally, I read the books written by Mr. Jarad it opened my eyes, each line makes sense. I have a hope that I can do it too. The way this explains, I'm clearly understood that how I can purchase the property below market value and I can do whatever I wish to do. Either rent it out for a long term with a positive cash flow or flipp and put the large instant profit in my pocket. Other books give examples of how to avoid negative cash flow by hypothetical figures but it doesn't teach how to buy the actual properties below market value!!!

The sequence of presentation is excellent. It is so easy to follow and you also give such great ideas for creativity and how important timing can be. I am in the mortgage business but I never had any idea on how to purchase a foreclosure. This is really the only manual you will ever need.
