An apartment building in Ithaca, New York with 72 units was financed with a $7.2 million non-recourse first mortgage loan at a 3.6% annual interest rate and an additional $3.6 million fully recourse second mortgage loan at a 7.2% annual interest rate. The owner later borrowed another $720,000 with a fully recourse third mortgage loan at a 10.8% annual interest rate.

The mortgage liens of the junior claimants and the loan amounts owed to them are unaffected by the foreclosure sale b. The mortgage liens of the junior claimants are extinguished but the loan amounts owed to them are unaffected by the foreclosure sale c.
