I just added a few more simple lines of code for my requirement at the beginning to do some extra checks to avoid the loop:

bool result;

        if (objectActual != null && objectModified != null)
        {
            Type objectTypeActual;
            Type objectTypeModified;
            result = true; // assume by default they are equal

            objectTypeActual = objectActual.GetType();    
            objectTypeModified = objectModified.GetType();  

            if(objectTypeActual.FullName !=  objectTypeModified.FullName)
            {
                Console.WriteLine("Objects are of different type. Cannot Compare '{0}' & '{1}'.", objectTypeActual.FullName, objectTypeActual.FullName);
                result = false;
                return result;
            }

            var allPropertyInfos = objectTypeActual.GetProperties(BindingFlags.Public | BindingFlags.Instance).Where(p => p.CanRead && !ignoreList.Any(x => x.Contains(p.Name)));
            var allPropertyInfosModified = objectTypeModified.GetProperties(BindingFlags.Public | BindingFlags.Instance).Where(p => p.CanRead && !ignoreList.Any(x => x.Contains(p.Name)));

            if (allPropertyInfos.Count == 0 && allPropertyInfosModified.Count == 0)
            {
                Console.WriteLine("There are no properties in these objects to compare. These are both equal.);
                result = true;
                return result;
            }
            if (allPropertyInfos.Count <= 0)
            {
                Console.WriteLine("Object of type '{0}' does not have any properties to Compare.", objectTypeActual.FullName);
                result = false;
                return result;
            }

            if (allPropertyInfosModified.Count <= 0)
            {
                Console.WriteLine("Object of type '{0}' does not have any properties to Compare.", objectTypeModified.FullName);
                result = false;
                return result;
            }

            foreach (PropertyInfo propertyInfo in allPropertyInfos)

{ .....
