Cal. Code Civ. Pro. 580d does not bar a deficiency for a sold out junior

Deficiency After Nonjudicial Foreclosure
Cal. Code Civ. Pro. 580d does not bar a deficiency for a sold out junior (see Walter E. Heller Inc. v. Bloxham, 176 Cal.App.3d 266 (1985)), although, as we have seen, section 580b will bar some sold out juniors from recovery of a deficiency. However, the holder of a junior deed of trust that has sold itself out through non-judicial foreclosure on its senior lien will be barred from a deficiency on the note secured by the junior lien. In Simon v. Superior Court, 4 Cal.App.4th 63 (1992), a bank gave two separate, sequential loans to a debtor. The first loan, for $1,575,000, was secured by a first deed of trust on the debtor's personal residence. The second loan, for $375,000, was secured by a second deed of trust on the same property. Neither loan was purchase money. After default, the bank non-judicially foreclosured the first, credit bidding less than the amount due, and then sued the debtor for $375,000 on the second note. The court barred the bank from recovery on the second note, holding that it amounted to a deficiency barred by 580d.


Before you walk away  from two loans, make sure you understand the law related to sold out juniors and short sale law.

Sold out junior law is pretty well settled, so you may have to consider your other options such as pursing a short payoff or short sale.

Commercial Real Estate - blood is in the boardroom not the streets... yet

short sale, foreclosure and credit effects

You can see that the late payments do a lot of damage to people with good credit scores. 
I suggest you find ways to set up your file, so you can position to rebuild your credit as fast as possible after the short sale or foreclosure

How foreclosure impacts your credit score - Apr. 22, 2010
Recently, Fair Isaac, which developed FICO scores, pulled back the curtain a bit, revealing some estimates of point-score declines following mortgage delinquency problems.

Here are the average hit your credit will take:

30 days late: 40 - 110 points

90 days late: 70 - 135 points

Foreclosure, short sale or deed-in-lieu: 85 - 160

Bankruptcy: 130 - 240

To come to these figures, Fair Isaac created two hypothetical consumers, one who starts out with a fair-to-middling score of 680 and the other with a very good one of 780. (FICO scores range from 300 to 850.)

San Diego's real estate market is slowing down

I was looking for a stat to confirm what is going on in our real estate practice.  The banks are sending out agents to do BPOs.  The agents are looking at comps from the spring and then asking us to counter the buyers offers.  The buyers are then walking away from the deals. 

I wonder how the lenders can be so poorly run and regulated? 
How did they get so big in the first place?
Why can't any of these people understand that to make money you have to get ahead of the curve not behind it?
