How long do you have to wait to refinance after foreclosure?

If the mortgage on your property is foreclosed the bank takes possession and you lose the property. You can't refinance. I have heard that to take on a new loan is possible in as little as two years. However, if you own another property paid off or in good standing, the foreclosure could affect your ability to refinance that property. I've heard 3 years so 2 years is a plus!


How long do you have to live in a property before renting it out?

How long can a second mortgage company try to collect on a foreclosed loan?

This answer will vary by state and depends on the situation. In one-action states such as California, if a lender foreclosed they cannot pursue the borrower further. If a first foreclosed the second is free to persue the borrower. In California the statute of limitations for collection of a debt is 7 years.


Do banks benefit with foreclosure?

Generally, no. Foreclosed property is often in poor condition since the owners did not have the resources, nor sometimes the experience or motivation, to properly maintain the property. Therefore it is often worth much less than the amount owed on the mortgage. The condition deteriorates further when it stands empty for a long period of time. Legal fees relating to the foreclosure can be costly and are often not recovered from the sale of the property or the former owner.

If he defaults on bankruptcy payments, then you can lose the property. If he is not on the loan, then your house can be foreclosed and repossessed.

How to Find and Buy Foreclosed Homes in Your Area?

Purchasing a foreclosed home is often more complicated than it seems. Buyers must first locate a property, assess its value and determine whether the home is worth buying. Since foreclosed homes go quick, buyers are often forced to write multiple offers and go through a lot of paperwork. Fortunately, as long as you are willing to do the work, it is possible to get a great deal on a foreclosed home.Resources for Finding Foreclosed HomesOnce you have decided to purchase a foreclosed home, begin looking for homes in your area. You can find listings in the newspaper under Auction Sales, Sheriff's Sales or Foreclosure Notices. You can also find listings through the Department of Housing and Urban Development and the Federal Housing Administration. Browsing through listings in your area will give you a good idea of pricing and availability.Once you are ready to take the next step, contact a real estate agent who has experience with foreclosed properties. A good real estate agent will give you access to the newest listings and help you navigate the process of buying a foreclosure. Once you have chosen an agent, contact a lender. Unless you can pay cash, you will want to receive a preapproval for a loan. Because foreclosures go fast, you might miss out on the best opportunities if you wait to secure financing until after you find a property you like.How to Choose a Foreclosed PropertyWhile looking at foreclosed homes, remember that these properties are sold as-is. This means that any structural or cosmetic issues will be your responsibility. Before making an offer on a home, conduct a title search and determine if there are any liens against the property. Also inspect the property very closely to determine if any major repairs will need to be made.To determine the value of the property, ask your real estate agent to give you examples of comparable properties around the home. Consider comparable sales and the condition of the property. If necessary, seek the help of a home inspector or appraiser to help you determine value. This will help you choose the best property and get a great deal on a foreclosed home.


What happens if your landlord's house is foreclosed?

As long as your landlord has control of the property he still has the right to collect rent: whether the house is foreclosed is between your Landlord and his mortgage lender. If the property is taken over by the mortgage lender they may ask you to leave. There may be some form of protection available for you, the Tenant, before you are forced to leave. Get legal assistance as soon as you learn about the foreclosure so that you can be prepared for what's next. You may or may not be required to leave soon.
