What your asking isn't entirely clear: If it something like: If you owe $100 on a $100,000 house, do they still take the entire property? Yes. The foreclosure process and results itself are essentially the same regardless of the amount owed. The amount owed is increased by all the costs of the foreclosure, accumulated interest and late fee's. The property being sold is done so at an auction (or process) that because of the questions regarding the property, and general requirement for cash, is attractive mainly to bargain seekers. Hence less money is generally produced, to pay off more of a debt, than had the troubled party done so themselves. Just like any amounts that are not paid off by the sale remain owing and the debt may still be pursued by the lender, it is generally true that if the foreclosure produces more than enough to pay off that now escalated amount of debt, it will be returned to the one who lost the property.

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.

Is it possible to purchase a different house with a foreclosure on your credit report?

It is possible, cash purchase, or substantial change in your ability to pay which would make the bank think you are a good credit risk. This could be in the amount of time since your foreclosure and maybe you have proved through repayment of another loan that things have changed since the foreclosure. Amount of time since foreclosure, repayment history, amount of credit, amount of debt are all items considered in your credit report which then gives you a score and the bank or mortgage company uses this to determine what kind of loan (rate and terms) you will get if any. All of this being said it is NOT easy especially in today's market.
