A Brief Overview Of The Foreclosure Process

In a state with a judiciary legal system, the beginning of foreclosure is marked with the filing of the case, while in a non-judiciary legal system, the beginning of foreclosure is marked with the filing of the Notice of Default and/or the Notice of Trustee Sales. Both of these stages, to the foreclosure process, is known as the time of pre-foreclosure -when you can make the most cash from the transaction or case.

Ordering a Trustee Sale Guarantee (TSG): This is another name for a Title Report.

There must be a notice sent to every single person with interest in the property being foreclosed -As in anyone and everyone with a lien on the property, even a mechanic’s lien, or anyone with a second mortgage. This is to inform all parties concerned with the real property.

Substitution of trustee: In a non-judicial state, there is always a Substitution of Trustee. This stems from the three tiered approach, which consists of:

Trustor, borrower of the money, Trustee, a beneficiary, Trustee, the one entrusted to handle the case or oversee the process

You may see a Substitution of Trustee posted at the County Recorder’s Office. This trustee only handles foreclosures and will follow the process to the end.

The Posting of Legal Notices -As required by law, as the affair concerns land and property, it should be made public through a legal notice. This notice contains only the information valid for public consumption; in other words, nothing that might be detrimental to the case or the parties involved. The notice appears on newspapers, publications, even special county-owned legal publications, and on the site of the property itself.

Maintaining constant contact -Constant contact should be maintained with the title company to ensure that no liens remain attached to the property being foreclosed. Bankruptcy can put a halt to the foreclosure, as bankruptcy is handled by federal law, superseding state law.

The Credit Bid -The credit bid is the set price when auctioning off the property. This is usually prepared by the mortgagee, or the beneficiary.

In most states, the credit bid will include the principle balance plus all of the arrearages, including: Bank interest, Penalties, Legal fees

Other arrearages can include second mortgages and homeowner’s association fees. In a judicial state, the lawyer for the mortgage company/bank will prepare the credit bid. In a non-judicial, the Trustee will prepare the bid.

Payment-includes reinstating the loan, a task reserved for the owner. Suspension or cancellation of the sale -This can be done at any time by the mortgagee or beneficiary, provided prior arrangements have been made with the owner.

Notice of Trustee Sale. This notice contains when and where the auction will be held. It also contains the legal property description -available in the County Tax Assessor’s Office. As a legal document, care should be taken to match the actual address with the document -note that addresses change over a period of time.

The Due on sale clause. This is a part of the mortgage that demand full payment of the loan, should the house be sold or transferred. The lender has no power to halt the sale, but can legally demand for full payment -which, in the lender’s case, has the same financial effect.

Should there be no due on sale clause, the loan is usually assumable even without the consent of the lender -as older VA and FHA loans are. This will have a considerable effect on the sale of the foreclosed property, an effect that will be beneficial to you. The bank will, in all likelihood, be unaware of the transfer, if you get the deed during the pre-foreclosure stage of the process -provided all payments are being met. If you acquire the property and immediately sell it, or even later, the requirements for paying off the loan can easily be fulfilled then.

Maintain Accurate Records While Renting

As a landlord of one of the rental homes in Utah, be sure to know how to keep good written records. They need to be accurate and well organized to make sure you have all the correct information on your rental home and on tenants for your documents.

KeyRenter helps landlords take good records for their taxes and other reasons. They handle all the accounting and managing of rental homes in Utah since they act as a Utah property management company. Records help landlords realize how much money is going in and out of the home and have background information on tenants on hand.

Make a file for each of your tenants. In this file should be records of the lease agreement, any written correspondence to and from the tenant, security deposit information, and any other important documents relating to the tenant. Keep these documents in a clean, orderly manner. If you have to bring them to court, the judge does not want food-stained, wrinkled, doodled documents.

If you must write notes on documents such as phone numbers or other information, then make yourself a photocopy for this purpose. Don’t write on the original documents; keep those clean for any possible court needs. You should also keep a rent ledger or receipts of received rent money. KeyRenter provides their homeowners with monthly accounting statements so they can save time on this process and know that it was done property by rental professionals.

When corresponding with the tenant, it is important to have everything in writing. Disputes are usually because of misunderstandings in conversations. If everything is recorded then it is easier to go back and see where the misunderstanding happened. When you write something to the tenant, be sure to include all details and to date the letter. Also, save and date anything sent to you by the tenant.

It is especially important that before the contract expires, that the current tenant lets you know in writing whether they are going to renew the contract or move out. This should be an advanced notice of 30 days. This is to give you more time to find a new tenant and to also have documents proving the original, final decision of the tenant. Sometimes tenants change their minds when they legally aren’t allowed to. Keep all record on hard copy and filed away in a safe place for safekeeping.
