A foreclosure, being a legal action, is a significant derogatory mark. This would show twice on your credit report. Once as a notation in the tradeline, and then again in the public records section.
The tradeline entry would show all the history on the account and negative data for 7 years, plus 180 days from the last time the account was paid as agreed. The public record would have its's own opening date (the date the foreclosure was filed at the courthouse) and would show for 7 years from the date of the disposition.
Having any item in the public record section of your credit report causes all deductions to have a larger impact on the score. Foreclosuure is a serious legal action and would indicate great risk to potential future lenders. Most consumers, even when they have trouble with other types of bills, pay their housing and utilities expenses. Lenders tend to look very unfavorably toward anyone who has let those expenses go into collections and lawsuits.

Does is make a difference if you have one foreclusure or 2?
The first foreclosure will have the largest impact on one's creditworthiness as the home is considered the most important asset to protect (largely by keeping up with mortgage and tax payments). The belief is that if one does not keep up payments on their home, why would they keep up payments for anything else as anything else is insignificant in comparison. The foreclosure will stay on your credit record for up to 10 years and will negatively impact your credit score throughout the entire period. If you got your second foreclosure within those 10 years, your credit rating will be lowered, but not as much that resulted from the first foreclosure. If you got your second foreclosure more than 10 years after getting the first, your credit rating will be negatively impacted to the same level as the first was.
