In Florida - except for a homesteaded residence, nothing is safe from seizure from a court order or bankruptcy. Even jointly owned assets may be seized and sold. Half of the proceeds from the sale or liquidation will then be retruned to the non-involved spouse.

Can foreclosure on an investment property result in seizure of other personal real property or other assets?

Foreclosure on an investment property typically results in the loss of that specific property, but it generally does not directly result in the seizure of other personal real property or assets. However, if the borrower has personally guaranteed the loan or if there are other financial obligations tied to the investment property, creditors may pursue other assets to recover their losses. Additionally, if the foreclosure leads to a deficiency judgment due to an unpaid mortgage balance, this could potentially impact the borrower's other assets. Always consult a legal expert for specific cases.
