You will not be Liable for "payments". Depending on your state laws, the lender may obtain a deficiency judgment against you.

If the house is a primary residence, you will not be sent a 1099-A nor, will the IRS receive one on you, unless you have a HELOC, Line of credit, or other type of lien. (Pool) In that case they can come after your for the entire deficient balance. You will not receive a 1099 in this case, you will receive collection calls and possibly civil liens, and wage garnishment. This applies even if you live in a non-recourse state such as AZ. If the property is an investment property, you will most likely receive a 1099-A for the deficiency, and they will try and collect that debt as well, as it is not covered under non-recourse laws. The only real way out of both of these actions is to file bankruptcy or to pay the debt off.

How many payments can you miss before they foreclose on your house?

The number of missed mortgage payments before foreclosure can vary by lender and state laws, but typically, lenders may start the foreclosure process after you miss three to six consecutive payments. However, this does not mean foreclosure will happen immediately after that point; lenders often engage in loss mitigation efforts, allowing time for borrowers to catch up on payments. It's essential to communicate with your lender if you're struggling to make payments to explore potential options.


How do you proceed with a deed in lieu of foreclosure and what are the advantages?

One advantage is that the foreclosure process will end sooner. Once the bank accepts the deed in lieu of foreclosure, all of the legal procedures come to a end immediately. The bank accepts the deed as payment in full for the loan, and the homeowners are no longer in default of the mortgage. Another benefit is the homeowners will not have as badly damaged credit as if they had gone through the full foreclosure. With the foreclosure process ending sooner, there are fewer missed mortgage payments. The bank typically reports late payments up until the month of the county foreclosure auction, which can result in many missed payments. With a deed in lieu of foreclosure, some of these can be avoided, as the foreclosure process is terminated early. This, in turn, allows homeowners to begin recovering financially more quickly than if they had let the home go through with the entire foreclosure process. They can begin working on credit repair sooner rather than later.


What is it called when the bank takes possession from a mortgager because of default payments?

When a bank takes possession of a property from a mortgagor due to default on payments, it is called foreclosure. This legal process allows the lender to reclaim the property and sell it to recover the outstanding loan balance. Foreclosure typically occurs after a series of missed payments and can significantly impact the borrower's credit score.


How many payments have to be missed before foreclosure by the mortgage company?

Technically you are eligible for foreclosure the day you miss a payment, but in practice this is never the case. Most lenders will begin the foreclosure process after 3 payments are missed, but that does not mean the home will be foreclosed. Many lenders are required by law to work with the borrower to modify the loan, or otherwise demonstrate significant effort to avoid the foreclosure. Many foreclosures take 6 months to a year to complete. This varies greatly by state, loan type, and investor/owner of the loan.
