What is the house foreclosure process?
Foreclosure is governed by state law, different states can observe different foreclosure procedures. In foreclosure, the lender, mortgagee, automatically becomes full owner of the property when a borrower, mortgagor, defaults. The borrower can still pay the full amount and get the house back during the redemption period. If the money is not paid back, you will lose the ownership of the house. Then the house will be sold at a public sale or auction to pay for the full loan amount, if the sale is less than the amount owed, you will owe the difference.

If foreclosure homes are sold at auction how are realtors selling foreclosure homes - Do they purchase the homes themselves or are they attempting to sell before the auction - How does this work?
the owner who is in foreclosure is attempting to sell the house before the foreclosure goes through. this is completely legal. if they want to sell the house for less than the amount that is owed to to the holder of the mortgage they will need to get the mortgage holders agreement.
During a foreclosure if your house is sold for less than you owe can the bank come after you for what is leftover?
Yes. And they normally do...because they owe it to others. You borrowed money from them and bought a house. You owe them the money. Not the house. You would have kept any amount you sold it for that was more than you paid...you would not have given them more. You would have paid them what you owed them only. They did not buy the house, alone or with you. You probably would have owed them less after all, had you sold the house on your own...because you will owe them all fee's and costs they have to incur to sell the house at foreclosure to recover funds you were to pay, and having to act to do so. You made a bad investment with money you borrowed. That's all.
Will foreclosure keep you from buying a house in the future?
It's better to sign the house back to the financer to save them the trouble of going through foreclosure, just for their convenience. If you keep your credit clean for a few (3 or more) years, you should be able to purchase a house, but be prepared to come up with a 20% down-payment and pay higher interest than others. Generally speaking a foreclosure will effect your ability to buy another home for around five years. If you are able to do it a short sale would be a better route than being foreclosed on. You can also consult with an experienced bankruptcy attorney if you have questions.
Is a short sale better than foreclosure?
In most cases it is preferable to foreclosure. I disagree. A short Sale has less impact on your credit score than a foreclosure.
Can expenses preparing a house for sale be deducted if foreclosure occurs?
Deducted from what? If a house is sold at foreclosure, expenses related to preparing the house for a normal sale are not relevant. Generally, expenses to prepare a house for a voluntary sale are not recovered in the sale, except for a few markets where demand for houses exceeds the supply, and even then the seller is better off just cleaning up cluttered rooms and making coffee or baking something chocolate while showing the house. If, by some chance, your house sells at auction for more than you owe and the fees for the foreclosure, it is unlikely any of the expenses would qualify as increasing the basis (how much you paid for the house), thus lowering your taxable gain.
