Foreclosure is a process that allows a lender to recoup the amount owed on a defaulted loan by selling or taking ownership of the property that secured the loan. It begins when a owner defaults on loan payments and the lender files a public default notice. The foreclosure process could end in a few different ways.
The owner sells the property to a third party during pre-foreclosure, allowing the owner to pay off the loan thereby avoiding having a foreclosure on his or her credit report.
The owner pays off the default amount to reinstate the loan during a grace period known as pre-foreclosure.
The lender takes ownership of the property, most likely with the intent to re-sell the property. The lender may take ownership through an agreement with the owner during pre-foreclosure or by buying the property at public auction.
A third party buys the property at a public auction at the end of the pre-foreclosure period.
Contact a lender early on. If you already know a good one,
contact this lender prior to contacting a Realtor. Most
quality agents won't even show homes with buyers
who are not pre-approved yet. And you almost always need
that pre-approval letter before you can submit an offer
on a property. You'll also need a good real estate attorney early on to guide you through the legal ins and
outs of the purchase contract that your Realtor helped
you put together. Your attorney is critical through the
negotiation stages, reviewing the findings of the
inspection report, and not to mention the closing. Lastly,
movers often need several months of advance notice of your
pending move. Although you may not need to contact one this
early on, it's good to have the knowledge in hand of lead
times, requirements and more importantly, pricing.
