The Basics Of Foreclosure

To start with, it is important to have a good understanding of what a foreclosure is. In basic terms, a foreclosure is a process whereby you lose possession of your home for non-payment of your loan.

The foreclosure process begins with the mortgage company that wants to regain control over the home to reduce their losses. Once a couple of payments are missed, the lender will send out notices and contact you to try to work things out. If an acceptable arrangement is not made, then the legal process begins.

Your mortgage company and their attorney are required to file a legal notice called a Notice of Election and Demand with the public trustee. Once this has happened, the trustee will provide you with a notice along with information on how to save your home or house, which is called a Right to Cure the Default. Once received, you are then required to respond with a Notice of Intent to Cure within seven days before the set sale date, which is between 45 and 60 days once the trustee receives the notice of house foreclosure from the mortgage company. In addition, money due to bring the home out of foreclosure must be paid no later than noon the day before the sale.

If you choose not to take the home out of foreclosure, your option to cure is gone. However, this is when your Redemption Rights come into play. Depending on the state in which you live, your specific situation, and the type of property in foreclosure, the time in which you have to redeem the property will vary. Generally, it is anywhere from three to seven months. For more information, you can contact the Department of Urban Housing and Development (HUD) within your local area (Hud Homes)

For the person looking to buy foreclosed homes and forclosures - often cheap homes -, they can expect to save as much as 25% on the purchase price of what a normal home would cost. In addition, many homes are in great condition, needing little or no repair. However, in the majority of cases, there is some level of home repair required and the downfall is that with foreclosures, you cannot inspect the home prior to purchase.

If you are a first-time buyer, buying a foreclosed home (cheap houses) may be a serious consideration since the down payment is low and the sellers are often very motivated. Go here for a list of foreclosure listings.

If you are interested in buying foreclosed homes as investments, this can be a very profitable option. In most cases, someone will buy a foreclosed home, complete any repairs, and sell it quick. People that do this as a business find it to be quite lucrative.
