A mаn, whо hаd а struggling catering business, was in desperate need оf mоney to purchase groceries and supplies for an upcoming event. The man found an investor willing to lend him $30,000 if he put up adequate collateral to assure the investor that she would not lose her money. To guarantee the loan, the man gave the investor a deed to his house, which was worth $75,000 and had been left to the man by his aunt. The investor recorded the deed and gave the man $30,000. The man signed a promissory note agreeing to repay the $30,000 within six months. The man continued to occupy the house, and the investor agreed to reconvey the house to the man as soon as he repaid the $30,000. The man was unable to pay the investor when the note came due and the investor refused to give the man an extension. If the investor seeks to take possession of the house, may she do so?
An entrepreneur purchаsed а bоutique by tаking оut a $200,000 mоrtgage. After a year, she sold the boutique to a businesswoman. According to the terms of the agreement signed by the parties, the businesswoman took the boutique “subject to the mortgage” and agreed to “assume payment of” the mortgage. Shortly thereafter, a popular shopping center opened in the same town and the businesswoman found herself in financial trouble with the boutique. The businesswoman sold the boutique to an investor who prided himself on turning around struggling businesses. Under the terms of the agreement signed by the parties, the investor agreed to take “subject to the mortgage.” All deeds and the mortgage were properly recorded. After three months, the investor concluded he could not save this business and stopped making mortgage payments. The bank that held the mortgage demanded payments from the investor, the businesswoman, and the entrepreneur, but none of them paid any money to the bank. The bank properly instituted foreclosure proceedings, and the boutique was put up for judicial sale. The new shopping mall had caused the value of smaller retail space in the town to plummet and the boutique sold for only $90,000. After the $90,000 was applied to the mortgage, $80,000 was still owing on the principal amount. The bank can seek to recover the deficiency from which of the following parties?
