At least the 110,000

The deficiency will be based on jurisdictions and the state at which the bankruptcy occur.

Sparkman offer is for unsecured claims, the mortage is secured, as the mortage is secured through mortgage origination.

Once Sparkman filed bankruptcy, the lender which is Bailey executed foreclosure to take ownership of the property and sell it to pay off the loan.
