Foreclosure Properties Legal Process

I don’t want to trivialize the forclosure process ,  but I have brokenthe home foreclosure process down into 4 basic steps. When you have an uderstanding of the foreclosure process it can and will help prospective investors to purchase homes at the best possible price.

1. Pre foreclosure- This can be considered the beginning, this is the stage which a property proprietor starts missing payments and the stress of falling behind on their payments starts to accumulate . Keep in mind that this stage is before any legal action has started .  A house owner may be more likely at this time to consider any offer, especially if it means they have a chance to save their credit and avoid the foreclosure process. This is in all likelihood the best time to make a deal with the hard-pressed home owner and make this a workable win-win situation.

2. Notice of Default- This is a formal notice to a borrower to notify him or her that a default has occurred and that legal action may be taken .

3. The foreclosure sale- Whether it is a judicial or non-judicial process depends on each independent state as each state may have different laws. The foreclosed property sale process in itself can take up to a year to complete. Quite frequently judicial foreclosure properties sales are held on the court steps as soon as a judgement has been reached. 

4. Redemption period- Duringperiod of redemption some states furnish the property home owner the chance to get title back, provided that they pay the full total of the original debt and any new fees that they may have assembled along the troubled path.

Property investors need and should know if the foreclosed property they wish to purchase has a redemption period or not. As an investor , you don’t want to make any type of improvements to the property until you know for sure that it is yours. I’m going to repeat that so that there is no mistake.  Never start any renovations or repairs until you legally own the property .
