If you're looking to invest in real estate, there are different stages of the foreclosure process that present different opportunites and challenges for buyers and real estate investors to purchase foreclosured properties.

Here is a brief summary of the different foreclosure stages, and how you as a buyer must go about finding and investing in Centerville foreclosures during the different stages of the foreclosure process.

Centerville Pre-Foreclosures

The pre-foreclosure stage begins when home owners receive a "notice of default". In Centerville, a notice of default is usually received after about four missed mortgage payments. The owners usually have about three months before the foreclosure auction to find a way to make up the missing payments and bring the loan current. However, usually they are monetarily unable to do such. If they had the money, they most likely wouldn't be in default.

Many Centerville preforeclosures are for sale and are listed on the MLS. However, the majority of them are not for sale. Many real estate investors attempt to contact these distressed owners, and offer to purchase their homes below market value to help them avoid foreclosure and preserve their credit.

Centerville Short Sales

Quite often the owners of the pre-foreclosure homes or condos are upside down. They owe more than the property is worth. It is still possible to purchase these homes. To help avoid foreclosure, banks will often times approve a "short sale." When a Centerville house is in short sale status, the bank forgives a portion of the debt and sells the home for less than what is owed. For banks, foreclosing is a very expensive process and they are often better off taking a "short sale" than foreclosing. Many Centerville short sale houses are listed on the MLS. They are noted with a special "SS" mark by the listing.

The Trustee Sale -- Foreclosure Auction

A foreclosure sale, or Trustee auction takes place a the County courthouse. This is a public auction where anyone may bid on the property if you:

1. Provide $5,000 certified funds prior to bidding. An "official check" will not work.
2. Must pay off the entire purchase price in full within 24 hours.
3. Properties sold at the public auctions are sold without warranties. There still may be judgements tied to the property. The properties might even still have residents needing eviction.

Purchasing a property at a Trustees Sale can be fairly risky as a lot of the time these homes are purchased "site unseen." Sometimes the homes are on the market and investors can walk through them before the foreclosure auction, but often times they are not. When a distressed home has several loans on it the junior liens will usually get shafted. Centerville Foreclosure Auction homes can often be purchased at a large discount when there isn't a lot of competition.

THe original loan on their house was 59,000 in 1996. It looks like they also took out a Home Equity of $25,000 in 2001. Not sure if she included that in what she told you.

If this is the case and they still owe $70,000 on the house, we may want to see what old our buddy could do. Build up our quick cash now so our company will have some $$ to do stuff like this in the future. He may also be able to offer to buy it for more than just what they owe do give them some cash to help them out.

If it's less than $60,000 to bring it current, and the house is really worth $110,000. We could buy it with cash now for whatever is owed, refinance at $80,000 in six months, the payment would be around $525. Lease to own at atleast $725, and sell it back to them in 2 years for $85,000.
