Foreclosures

Q:
What is a Foreclosure?
 
A:
When a borrower stops making their Real Estate Loan payments, the lender will file a “Notice of Default” with the county recorders office. The borrower will then have a few months to make up any payments that were missed. After that period expires, the lender will take the property back from the borrower. The taking back of the property is a Foreclosure. Most lenders will then sell the property.
