"purchase money mortgage" is a mortgage you use to purchase a property. A re-fi is not "purchase money," so it is not subject to the non-recourse rules.

But again, the lender has to use an expensive and lengthy judicial foreclosure process to obtain a deficiency judgment, so it has to be economically feasible and worthwhile for the lender to enforce whatever judgment it may receive.

And different states may have different laws.
