We are in Florida so the laws are different but yes we have removed the deficiency language. My thought on it is that it really does not matter if it is in there or not. I will probably get crucified for saying this but, anyway you look at it, the seller can either sell and take the chance of a deficiency judgement or let it foreclose and get a much larger deficiency judgement that is most likely a sure thing. Once the property is sold and the release of mortgage is recorded, I believe that the lenders now come from a position of weakness because there is no longer a secured note and they would have to start from the beginning and intiate new legal proceedings that cost alot of money, money that most likely they will never recover thru a deficiency judgement or collections. Most likely if a seller is in bad enough financial shape, a judgement against them is tough to collect by the lenders or debt collectors. This is my lowly, uneducated, non attorney opinion :)
