If they pursue a trustee sale they give up the right to go after you for the difference. So it won’t matter if it is recourse or non-recourse. (check with a lawyer, I am not one, nor should I be listened to)
There are very few judicial foreclosures done in California and for a dinky condo in SD they probably wouldn’t bother (I say probably just so you don’t think it is a definite thing, but ask around about how many judicial foreclosures are done).
Depending on how convinced you are things are going south you could stop paying on everything and save your duckets (it’ll be 4 months minimum if not more of savings) and try again in 2 years OR renegotiate with loss mit on your current house or condo. The more contact you have with your servicer the more choices you will be aware of.
Just throwing out ideas. I’d call your servicer and see what they offer.
Other ideas include short sales or short refis (might be able to get the condo cash flow positive with the right loan).
