Helpful Facts And Advice In Dealing In Real Estate: From Redemption To Foreclosure
Nearly everywhere, you can buy real property at an auction. In some states, there is what's called Redemption Laws; the deed or title for this type of purchase is special and has specific rules attached to it. The title you hold is not clear yet, or in simpler terms: temporary. This means that in a matter of months, the former owner from which the property has been auctioned can reclaim the property -the title is defeasible or can be defeated.
Redemption Rights: If you buy the redemption rights from the owner at the time of the auction, you will own the title and the rights and therefore be able to get clear title. A redemption purchase should also be notarized. You should consult a local attorney, because each state differs in the way in which this should be handled.
Whenever you make a purchase such as this, you can always buy the redemption rights from the owner -making the title you hold clear, or in simpler terms: permanent. It's always a good idea to consult your real estate lawyer with regards to handling this type of case as the laws differ from state to state. If you're not careful, you can and will get screwed over.
Purchasing Property
The process of purchasing property usually starts with a loan. If you borrow $100,000 from a lender, that is a note. When you buy a piece of property, to make the property the collateral for that note, you get a mortgage or deed of trust. In a judicial state, it will typically be a mortgage. If the owner defaults on the note, the lender must take the owner to court to sue for payment. The mortgage attached to the note is the security instrument. If the owner does not pay, the property can be foreclosed.
Relationship of Notes to Mortgages and Deeds of Trust
3 parties are always involved in a deed of trust sale:
Trustor = Borrower
Beneficiary = Person lending the money (mortgagee)
Trustee = Party handling the transaction
In a deed of trust, the trustee handles the foreclosure for the beneficiary; in a mortgage, a lawyer handles the foreclosure for the beneficiary. A mortgage and deed of trust are two separate and different things, but perform the same function -acting as security instruments until the property and loan is completely paid off.
In the event of a foreclosure, there are usually 2 major ways to handle it:
Short Sale
Equity Split
There may also be another option, a "subject to" transaction for more expensive properties. - 23208
