Yes they can.

But it will depend on few things.

If the foreclosure sale does not result in recovery of full balance on the debt and lender is able to get a deficiency judgment against you for recovery of the balance amount then a lien can be placed on your other properties for recovery of that balance amount.

There are many options by which foreclosure can be avoided. I would say you consider those first and then if other options are not possible opt for foreclosure.

BTW, how many defaults on the loan as of now?

Have you discussed loss mitigation options with your lender?

Thanks for suggestions.
Here is what we have more deeper: We purchased 2 houses in FL for $200,000 each. they both worth now under $140,000. We are loosing $25,000 per year in negative cash flow. Bad renters. Hard to rent or sell and so on. But we do have a business that is produsing an ok income. And we are worrying that it may be impacted by foreclosure. We are almost 3 months late. The bank told us that on 8/1/07 they will start a foreclosure process. While we can still affort to make a few more payments, does it worth it? or should we just give up right now? We offer the bank to accept the short sale offer that we have for $125k, but they telling us that we have no HARDSHIP, therefore - NO todeal.

In many states deficiency judgment is not allowed. So it is possible, depending upon which state you are in that the lender is not able to file a lowsuit for getting a deficiency judgment against you.

If that happnes then a lien cannot be placed on your other properties for recovery of balance amount.

You can try and find someone willing to purchase the house on lease to own basis. That would be much better than letting the house go into foreclosure.

Apart from chances that lender is able to get a deficiency judgment against you, a foreclosure will also result in a drop in your credit score and your ability to get other type of loans in future.

Best possible option would be to put your house on the market and try to payoff your mortgage with the proceeds of the sale, since a foreclosure will ruin your credit score and your professional life
