Process of Foreclosure

Friday, August 14th, 2009

The start of a foreclosure depends on your state and the terms of your loan. The common census is that it starts once you have missed your third monthly mortgage payment. After you have missed this third payment, most institutions will not allow half payments anymore. You must make your payments complete and bring your account up to date for all past due amounts in order to avoid the foreclosure. This will include all late fees or legal fees that have been incurred to your account.

Once the foreclosure on your property has been started, you will get a few notices that states what stage of the foreclosure you are currently in. These notices can either be received by mail or you may find them on your door. Prepare yourself for the daily phone calls from you lender also. Most think the best thing to do is to avoid the calls, but in truth this is the worst action you could take! They are calling you to try to work with you to keep your home out of foreclosure. Whatever you may think, they are not in the business of wanting to foreclosure upon your home. Should you ignore these calls, you are saying that you do not care about your home and you don’t care that you will lose your home and have to move.

Usually after the first six months of not paying your mortgage, the institution will then go ahead with the foreclosure proceedings and place your house up for sale with the local county auction or what is also referred to as a sheriff’s sale. Once the sale of your home is complete, you will have a redemption period. Redemption period can vary depending on the state you live in, so make sure you know what is the normal for your place of residence. If you have no choice but to let the foreclosure continue and get to this point where your home is sold from you, it at all possible you should take advantage of this redemption period. During this period, you can stay in your home- payment free. This could possible give you the time you need to look for a new place to live. Once you redemption period is final, you must vacate the premises.

Bankruptcy Automatic Stay

Friday, August 14th, 2009

Facing a huge mountain of debt can be one of the most stressful experiences you’ll ever have in your life. This can lead to many sleepless nights as you worry about how on earth you will come up with the money to get those bill collectors off your back. If you’ve decided to declare bankruptcy, there is a provision that can provide some relief. It is known as the bankruptcy automatic stay.

As soon as you file your bankruptcy petition with the court, the bankruptcy automatic stay prevents debt collectors from contacting you for any reason whatsoever. Wage garnishments are halted, along with foreclosures and repossessions.

Believe it or not, the creditors are not even allowed to contact you once you have filed for bankruptcy. If they do, they’ll have to answer to the judge and will probably have to pay fines as a result. Now, you still have to go through the bankruptcy process, of course.

You still have to go through the process of declaring Chapter 7 (or Chapter 13, depending on your circumstances), but at least this provides you some temporary breathing space while you work things out with your attorney.

HUD Foreclosure Properties

Friday, August 14th, 2009

It is pretty much common knowledge that foreclosures are a great opportunity to buy a home at a reduced rate. Banks are a great place to look for foreclosed upon properties as they usually have plenty on hand. There are other places that you should check out. You may end up getting the exact property you were looking for at a better price. There are Government Agencies that also have foreclosed upon homes that they must sell. HUD foreclosures is also a great place to look!

The FHA, also known as the Federal Housing Administration, insures loans from banks for The Department of Housing and Urban Development, also know as HUD. HUD helps build homes for people and then the FHA gets the loans approved through a financial institution. They do this for fist time homeowners, small down payments, and those with less than great credit. HUD is there to help people that without them, would never have the chance to own a home. In the unfortunate circumstances when the homeowner is unable to make their monthly payments, HUD will foreclose on the property and will then have to re-sell the property to try to get some of what was lost in the transaction back.
