Recourse
Refers to the right, in an agreement, to demand payment from the person who is
taking on an obligation. A full recourse loan refers to the right of the lender to take
any assets of the borrower if repayment is not made. A limited recourse loan only
allows the lender to take assets named in the loan agreement. A non-recourse loan
limits the lender's rights to the particular asset being financed -- an approach that is
common in home mortgages and other real estate loans.
