The amount realized includes the full amount of debt before the foreclosure regardless if the fair market value of the property is less than that amount.

Assuming that Simon can borrow up to 75 percent of the market value, what is the maximum amount he can borrow? (LO 5.2) Present market value of Simon’s home = $250,000.
