GuestEven if it’s technically a recourse loan, nobody will go after your other assets if you walk.
If the lenders choose non-judicial foreclosure (trustee sale) they CANNOT get a judgment even if the loan are recourse.* They have to sue you in court for a judicial foreclosure to obtain a judgment. It’s a very costly process and lenders in California don’t even know how to do that (their bureaucracy is setup for trustee’s sales).
I have never heard of a lender getting a recourse judgment.
Unless you are a millionaire with other known assets, you have nothing to worry about. Don’t let the lawyers scare you into paying them fees — just walk if that’s what you want to do.

How was the transaction/modification recorded?
That would help tell if the loan is recourse or not…. But either way, the above applies.
If it’s still the same purchase money loan, then it’s a non-recourse loan.

Its still debatable, but there is a line of re legal thought right now that states that a mod makes it into a new loan and therefore recourse.Not my opinion but expect this to be exploited in the near future.
