A phоtоgrаpher bоrrowed $100,000 from а bаnk, secured by a mortgage on his home, to build a studio and darkroom in the home. The bank properly recorded the mortgage. After completing this project, the photographer decided to remodel his kitchen and borrowed $25,000 from a lending company, also securing the loan with a mortgage on his home. The lending company did not record its mortgage. After the remodeling was complete, the photographer borrowed $15,000 from an investor, secured by a mortgage on his home, to redo his in-ground pool. Learning of this transaction, the lending company raced to the recording office and recorded its mortgage. The next day, the investor recorded its mortgage. A few months later, the photographer defaulted on all three mortgages, having not made any principal payments. The lending company brought a foreclosure action, joining the investor in the proceeding. The foreclosure sale resulted in $150,000 in proceeds after all expenses and fees were paid. A statute of the jurisdiction in which the photographer's home is located provides: "Any conveyance of an interest in land shall not be valid against any subsequent purchaser for value, without notice thereof, unless the conveyance is recorded."
