Best Answer

A foreclosure auction is a forced auction. The person who used to own the property being auctioned owed either the bank or the government money. For not paying the money back, their property is sold at auction to satisfy their debt. A regular auction could be anything and isn't necessarily to pay off debt, but usually to make a profit.

What's the difference between Roth and a 401K?

The difference between a Roth 401k and a regular 401k is that the Roth 401K is a after-tax contribution and the regular 401K is a pre-tax contribution. You pay taxes on the Roth 401K now in order to avoid taxes at withdrawal. The regular 401 is a tax credit for the year deposited with taxes paid at the time of withdrawal.


How do you know a bank is being honest when you try to buy a foreclosure property and they say they have another bidder so go higher?

If it is a regular sale negotiation, the potential buyers will not know for sure what other potential buyers have offered for the property. Offers can be kept confidential between the buyer and lender, unless either party wants to disclose to another person the amount of the offer. Thus, there is no way to know for sure if the bank has another, higher offer for the same property in foreclosure. Either call the bluff by walking away, or submit a better offer if it is still within your price range. In a foreclosure public auction, where properties are bid on for the highest price, the bids are usually taken out loud or read aloud by the county sheriff, and the highest bidder wins -- there are no other negotiations.

How does it take before a house will go into foreclosure?

In a judicial foreclosure state the answer as always is it depends. However, in general terms a traditional lender, bank/mortgage company, will wait approximately 90 days after the last regular payment before they put the loan in a litigation posture. After the 90 days they will usually ship the "file" to a foreclosure attorney to start the litigation process also known as the foreclosure. Depending upon the case load of that particular law firm you should expect to see a summons or complaint, which is the start of the lawsuit between 14 and 30 days. These time tables are only general observations but should give you a conservative estimate.
