Answer:
A deficiency judgment is a judgment lien against a debtor, defendant or borrower whose foreclosure sale did not produce sufficient funds to pay the mortgage in full. This option may or may not be available to the lender, depending on whether they have made a recourse or non recourse loan. A non-recourse loan means the buyer cannot be personally held responsible for any deficiency in the loss of a property due to foreclosure or other factor, and the lender generally can't pursue a deficiency judgment.
