How Does Foreclosure Work

“Foreclosure” is of course the taking back of property by the lender if payments have not been made on the loan.

As for the different stages of foreclosure, first the homeowner has to be unable to meet the requirements of the loan, such as monthly payments. A formal demand for payment will be made by the lender, usually in the form of a Notice of Default, ordinarily after three monthly payments have been missed. It usually outlines that the property will be sold to repay the loan, and the homeowner will lose their home.

Regardless of who the lender is, be it a private lender, a bank, or whatever, the same steps are required.

At this point a short sale may be instituted. This means that the lender may be willing to take a discount on what’s owed, simply to avoid having to foreclose. A Notice of Default will have been recorded in the public records, thus one may be able to find properties that might be sold on a short sale if one follows those.
