Foreclosure Process

 #ForeclosedHomes #PropertyInvestment #RealEstateAuction #ForeclosedProperty 

The foreclosure process works on the principle of a loan for equity.

When a homeowner defaults on his loan, the lender or the bank takes back the property and/or sells it for less than the value of the loan.

When a homeowner is unable to pay property taxes on his/her property, the lender or the bank takes the property and/or sells it for less than the value of the tax lien.

The foreclosure process works on the principle of a loan for equity. The homeowner places a down payment on the property, sets a repayment schedule, and makes installment payments on the principle and interest. If the homeowner defaults on his/her loan, the lender proceeds to sell the property for less than the value of the principal and interest.

The foreclosure process begins when the lender or the bank seizes the property. In most cases, the lender seizes the property after the homeowner defaults on his loan and/or fails to make installment payments on the lien(s). When the lender seizes the property, it will usually sell it at a very low price to induce a higher bid from a willing buyer. Usually, the lender seizes the property either through foreclosure or through an instrument of sale.

If the property is foreclosed through the foreclosure process, the lender usually sells the property through a public auction.

If the property is seized through the instrument of sale, the lender usually sells the property through a trustee's sale.

Most people will avoid purchasing a foreclosed home, thinking that it is a cheap purchase and, therefore, will buy the inexpensive property. However, it is essential to know that foreclosed properties are usually in a sorry state. Usually, there are broken windows, doors, and roofs, and there are weeds growing in the yard. Furthermore, it will be dirty and uninhabited.

Foreclosures are expensive properties. However, there are people who do purchase foreclosed properties, and they usually fix it up and they use it as a rental property.

There are also people who purchase a foreclosed property, and they renovate the property to improve the value of the property. These people do create some profit from the property, especially the price that is much lower than the market value. However, they also take a big risk as well. If they did not repair the property, it would most probably become foreclosed again.

The foreclosure process also takes place in three stages. In most cases, the lender uses the three-stage foreclosure process.

The first stage is the pre-foreclosure stage. The pre-foreclosure stage is followed by the auction stage. At this stage, the property is auctioned to the highest bidder, and the auction is usually held in front of the sheriff. The property is generally auctioned for the remaining balance of the loan.

Also, at this stage, the lender is able to offer the price that the property will bring. However, the lender is not able to take more than the amount owed on the property. If the bidder bids more than the price of the property, it becomes real estate owned.



The second stage is the real estate owned stage. The bidder's bids are taken by the lender in the auction stage. The bidding proceeds in reverse order starting with the highest bid to win. The lender is also allowed to go up to the amount the bidder bid. If the lender wins, the bidder loses all the amount bid by them in the auction. This is called the prevailing price. If the lender wins the auction, the bidder can lose everything that they bid. Thus, this is the most dangerous stage to purchase a property at. During this stage, the bidder is most likely to commit fraud.

Disclosure of Information on Foreclosure Listings

  #ForeclosedHomes #ForeclosedProperty #DistressedProperty #DistressedHome #PropertyTips The majority of distressed properties are occupied by individuals or couples in residential contracts with their lender to purchase a property.  I'm assuming this for several reasons. The first is that most distressed homes are sold "As-Is." They are bought with only a mortgage State". Secondly, many distressed home sales are made short sales". This means the homeowner has tried to contact their lender via servicing statements or other documentation. They've made references to their accountability period and final determination date. They've tried to get other agencies to assist them, such as a HUD counselor, but those agencies are also out of service.
