Foreclosure initially starts off with a payment default made by the lender. It pertains to a judicial process allowing a lender to claim back the possession on the propert on default. If payments have been neglected continuously up to six months then the lender files what is so called Default Notice.
The lender gives the borrower notice up to 5 days to start a period of reinstatement. The state will determine a repayment procedure and repayment amount for the borrower to stop the foreclosure process. This is known as the pre-foreclosure period.
If the loan on default is not put right, a state date for the foreclosure is firmed up. A Notice of Sale will be sent to the borrower. This Notice will also be sent to the government`s office concerned where the property is located. It will also be advertised in the print media. The property is awarded during this period to the highest bidder. A deposit will have to be made immediately. The bidder will then obtain the trustee’s deed. This enables the borrower to settle the loan on default and ensure that the credit report does not have a default stated.
More often the mortgage lender himself will take possession. This may be carried out through a binding agreement with the borrower in the pre-foreclosure period. Generally the lender will choose to deal the property and salvage the loan. The lender will render the essential maintenance the property may need.
The foreclosing lender arranges the auction and an opening bid. This is equivalent to the borrower’s loan balance to include outstanding, accrued interest, attorney fees and any miscellaneous fees involved. In case the highest bid is less than the opening bid, the legal officer will buy the property on behalf of the lender. In case the opening bid is not fulfilled, the property is labeled as real Estate Owned.
