Foreclosure on rental property – can the bank go after current residence/assets?
Question Details: My husband purchased rental property before we were married. After we married we lived there for 6 months, purchased a single family home, and moved into the single family home. We cannot sell the rental. I will become unemployed at year end. We will not to be able to pay the mortgage. If the rental property goes into foreclosure, can the bank go after our current residence or other assets? I am not on the mortgage for the rental. Will the foreclosure appear on my credit? How will a foreclosure appear on my husband’s credit? Will we ever be able to buy another home after a foreclosure?
