Answer to Question 1

Foreclosure would require an understanding of state laws, including the provisions on contracts, real property rights, the foreclosure process, and even on interest rates.
Securities sales would be governed by federal law found in the United States Code. There could also be some state securities laws if the mortgage debt instruments sold qualified for an exemption from federal securities laws.

Bankruptcy is an exclusively federal issue - governed by the bankruptcy courts and provisions in the United States Code.

Eminent Domain is a constitutional issue, governed by the Fifth Amendment. There could also be some state constitutional protections. Also, there may be some new states laws on local governments taking property for purposes of economic development.
