There are two ways to stop foreclosure proceedings. Come to an agreement with the bank and make a substantial payment. For many this is not an option, so the only other resort is filing Chapter 11 bankruptcy.

This means that foreclosure proceedings have started due to a substantial delinquency of the loan. Once these proceedings start, the bank will no longer accept any funds except for the total amount that you owe.

Even though proceedings may have started, it won't show on your credit report as a foreclosure unless the home was sold at an auction.

Can foreclosure of investment properties result in the selling of your own home?

In theory yes, but in practice I doubt it will happen. The bank will start the foreclosure procedure with your investment properties, ultimately these properties will be sold and the proceedings used to settle the mortgage loan. In most situations the proceedings will be enough to pay off the mortgage and you are entitled to the surplus. However if the proceedings are not enough to pay off the mortgage you can and will be forced to pay it off with other funds and eventually bankruptcy can follow and your home will be taken. And please do not forget that even a foreclosure on investment properties will have a negative impact on your credit score.
