Re: lis pendence and short sale/fore closure
I wouldn't have any way of knowing. It would depend on what the house brings at foreclosure or some other sale, how much equity is in the house, how many other liens are on the house, what position those liens are in compared to yours if you have one, whether the house ends up in a bankruptcy estate, etc.
