    Depends on how the mortgage was signed. If the investment was held in his name or as in an organization type with personal liability, or if he added a personal guarantee, then he MAY be held responsible for any shortfall on the amount due after the sheriff’s sale.

    If he doesn’t have to make up the difference from his personal finances, there will be tax consequences – the shortfall will be considered income by the IRS.
