I am having to reposess a MH that the buyer is VERY delinquent on. If I end up selling it at a loss from his orginal mortgage amount...is he responsible for the difference? Also, what about liens that might have been placed on it during his time of responsibility for it?

Quick search turned up the following
If, after selling the property, the lender does not receive enough money to pay the loan in full, the lender will have the right to seek a deficiency judgment against the borrower personally.

Welcome mcgeegrace.

Yes Florida is a deficiency judgment state. That means if in the process of foreclosure or short sale if the sell price is less than what you owe to the mortgage company then they can come after you for the deficiency judgment.

Let me know if you have any more queries.

Florida the deficiency judgment state. That means the lender has a right to get all the money for the loans.
