You still owe the balance (the amount you owed minus the amount the lender sold the foreclosed home for).

What happens If the bank forecloses and sells your home for less than the mortgage?

Depending on where you live and the type of loan you have, the lender may be able to go to court and get a deficiency judgment against you for the difference (in most cases they can do that)


What happens if you finance a home and it burns down?

IF the home is financed, the lender will require fire and hazard insurance. The policy will at a minimum cover the lender's cost.


If the same lender holds both mortgages and only second goes to foreclosure what happens in Delaware will both go into foreclosure even though the first is current can we stay in home?

No, you will not be able to stay in the home if one lender successfully forecloses on the home. It only takes one lien holder to take away the house. Chances are, if you have been able to keep up with your first mortgage, you can convince your lender to combine the two and just have one mortgage payment. Depending on how long you've had the loan and how much equity you have, you may even be able to negotiate a lower monthly payment. When you are facing foreclosure, it's important to stay in contact with your lender and explain what's going on and how you plan to recover from your hardship and begin making your payments again.


Are you responsible for the loan balance if you foreclose on your home?

Yes, of course. The lender forecloses on the dishonored promise to pay, takes possession of the home, auctions it to the public, and you still owe whatever amount they were not able to obtain at the auction to satisfy your loan obligation. If the home has more equity in it than you owe, then the extra proceeds of the auction will go back to you, but you'll need a new home, unless you won the auction.


Does a bank that forecloses and sells house owe equity to owner?

When a bank forecloses on a property, it typically does not owe any equity to the former owner if the sale proceeds do not exceed the outstanding mortgage balance. If the sale generates excess funds after covering the mortgage and foreclosure costs, those surplus funds, known as "equity," would typically be returned to the owner. However, if the home sells for less than what is owed, the owner may still be liable for the remaining debt, depending on state laws. Therefore, the specifics can vary based on the circumstances and local regulations.
