Re: Can they take my other assets

First they will foreclose on the mortgage. Then the property will be auctioned. If the price obtained covers the mortgage principal, interest court costs, attorney fees and interest, you would be home free.

But rest assured, it won't. Then a deficiency judgment will be entered against you, and your other assets will be fair game for the marshal to levy against.

Consult an experienced attorney for advice. You will save in the long run.
