Right now I owe 150k on a house that is worth 90k. If I buy the new house for cash, can I let the old house go into foreclosure without the bank coming after the new house I own outright? Thanks

The lender will not be able to foreclose on your new house to recover the deficiency. But they can get a judgment against you, can place a lien on the property and can even garnish your wages. So, it's better to negotiate with the lender and try to convince them to accept a short payoff.
