Foreclosure rates are at record heights across the nation. Foreclosures in Salt Lake City offer great opportunities for investors to find great deals on homes and property. While a foreclosure doesn't guarantee an incredible deal, many times homes and properties can be purchased at highly discounted prices.
Foreclosures are the result of a borrower being unable to make or afford mortgage payments to a bank or lender. In the pre-foreclosure stage the borrower is given a notice of default (NOD) when they have missed mortgage payments. After recieveing the NOD, the owner still has the opportunity to make up the missed payments. If the home owner is unable to make up the missing payments or re-finance his property, he may choose to sell the property as a "short sale." A list of properties having recieved a NOD are available to public viewing and offer a great opportunity for investors to watch for property going into short sale or foreclosure status. To find these homes try the services from foreclosure.com.
If the borrower chooses not to or is unable to sell the property under short sale, a Notice of Trustee Sale will be sent by the lender. This notice informs the borrower that the property will foreclose at an upcoming trustee auction.
This auction is open to the public and anyone may bid on the property at the auction. Upcoming trustees sales are also listed and available to the public. If the property is not sold at the auction then the property is purchased by the lender and becomes bank owned or REO property. It is then usually listed by a realtor and sold.
