Diversity jurisdiction is a basis for federal courts to exercise jurisdiction if the parties to a civil cause of action are residents of different states and the amount in controversy is large enough to make use of federal resources practical. A state may legitimately exercise jurisdiction either if it has in rem jurisdiction over the property or in personam jurisdiction over all parties to the dispute.

No, they are different types of relief that can be given by the court. "In rem" refers to the object in dispute, and "in personam" to the litigant. A judgement in rem would be a declaration that a certain person is the owner of the property, but a judgement in personam might be an award of damages to be paid by the defendant for trespass, nuisance or some similar tort.

But, when the judgment is rendered in the foreclosure, it should be an "in rem" judgment, which means against the property only, and not an "in personam" judgment, which means against you personally.
