I have 2 investment properties in FL. The loan amount balance is more than the house value.I'm looking at foreclosure, can Countrywide come after me for the shortage??
I am not a lawyer.
From a quick Google search... the answer appears to be YES... they can seek a deficiency judgment.

Hello Mohammedv,
The foreclosure laws in Florida allow lenders to seek deficiency judgment to recover the unpaid mortgage balance.
If the lender agrees to forgive this debt then, according to the new law, you don't have to pay tax on this.
I think it will be better if you talk to your lender and make things clear.
