No, if there is any surplus of funds from a public foreclosure auction, it goes to the homeowners.

This is why banks keep raising fees, interests, charges, costs, and any other monetary items they can impose on an account.

The bank wants to be able to collect as much money as possible from the sheriff sale of the home.

Not surprisingly, a surplus that goes to the homeowners is very rare. Most homes do not sell for enough to pay off even the first mortgage, let alone any other liens or create a surplus.

However, in the rare cases where there is a surplus, the homeowners often have to request it from the court or county clerk. They will not just be sent a check.

The government would rather that the homeowners disappear and leave the surplus for the government itself to claim, instead of letting the borrowers know they are entitled to some funds as a result of the sale.

What are my rights as a secondary heir in my father's estate if his real estate goes into foreclosure?

The banks claim is superior to yours because your father conveyed the property to the bank when he granted the mortgage. You would be entitled to any surplus after the bank deducts its debt, costs and expenses of foreclosure.

Can foreclosure of investment properties result in the selling of your own home?

In theory yes, but in practice I doubt it will happen. The bank will start the foreclosure procedure with your investment properties, ultimately these properties will be sold and the proceedings used to settle the mortgage loan. In most situations the proceedings will be enough to pay off the mortgage and you are entitled to the surplus. However if the proceedings are not enough to pay off the mortgage you can and will be forced to pay it off with other funds and eventually bankruptcy can follow and your home will be taken. And please do not forget that even a foreclosure on investment properties will have a negative impact on your credit score.

It is this surplus honey that we collect. Beekeepers then replace the honey with sugar syrup which, for the bees, is just as good.

If your home was sold at foreclosure auction above the amount due to the mortgage company what is the procedure to get the balance sent to you?

The purpose behind a foreclosure sale is to enable the lender to recover what you owe. You are entitled to any surplus funds after the lender recovers what you owe, pays all the fees relating to the foreclosure and pays off the balance of any junior liens, property taxes and municipal charges.You need to check in the jurisdiction where the property is located to determine the procedure to claim the overage in your state. In some states the excess is turned over to a county trustee. In others a check is sent to the mortgagor. There are many cases where debtors had built up equity in their property and there are attorneys who handle this type of claim.In Massachusetts for example, the lender must provide to the mortgagor an itemized accounting of the disposition of the proceeds from a foreclosure sale within 60 days of receiving those funds. The accounting must include any surplus due the mortgagor.See the article at the link below that relates to overages.http://www.denverpost.com/2011/03/07/money-owed-to-victims-of-foreclosure-rarely-gets-to-them/
