Most residential loans are "full recourse loans" which means that in case of foreclosure, the bank can hve access to all the borrowers present and furture assets to cover their losses.
Usually, though, the home will sell in a manner to satisfy the bank. However, if some investors had their way, they would get acquire the house at a rediculous price, forcing the bank to take recourse action against the troubled homeowner.
If you hold houses as investment properties, and one of your properties forecloses, all are at risk, if they are held jointly in your name.
To protect yourself you should hold investments in a corporation, such as an LLC or land trust. This putss them out of reach from the banks and other creditors.
