[ Follow Ups ] [ Post Followup ] [ The Forum Board ] [ FAQ ] 2nd lenders right for deficiency judgment post auction Posted by David F on January 15, 2004 at 12:47 AM Ward, Re your article last month about mortgagees' rights to pursue deficiency judgment. SITUATION Owner's condo in CA was auctioned at a foreclosure auction 2 weeks ago. The senior lender was the one who completed the foreclosure. The junior lender never did issue an NOD. The senior lender was fully paid off from the proceeds of the auction, but proceeds were not enough to completely pay off the junior lender. Both loans were secured by trust deeds that were recorded concurrently with the grant deed by which the owner originally took title. The junior lender is now trying to garnish the wages of the owner. QUESTIONS: 1. Is the junior lender counted as a hard money lender, even though it's trust deed was given when the owner FIRST (i.e., not later) bought the property? (in last month's article you said, "If a homeowner borrows cash and guarantees its repayment by giving the lender a promissory note and deed of trust against real property that he or she ALREADY owns, the loan is characterized as a "hard money" loan." 2. Can the junior lender legally garnish the owner's wages post auction? And can it do this WITHOUT suing the owner first? 3. Can the junior lender pursue deficiency judgment? 4. How can the owner get this lender off his back for good? complete BK chapter 7? Thank you, in advance. David Follow Ups: Purchase money status defeats qualifying for a deficiency judgment..
