California Foreclosed Homes For Sale

Question: Foreclosing on a Home In California with a First and a Line of Credit?

I have a First and a Heloc from a Credit Union. My house has been on the market for nearly a year with no action. I am selling at a fair price that will cover paying off the loans and the Real-Estate fees. If I choose to foreclose on the home, what are the ramifications regarding the 2 loans. Will I be liable for any damages to the credit union? If I do a short sale do both lenders have to agree or just one? How long will it take to recover (credit wise) from a foreclosure vs. a short sale?

Answer: The short sale will have less of an impact then a foreclosure, but both are about 7 years.

Yes, both lenders have to agree on a short sale, you will screw both, so both have a say.

Buying Foreclosed Property From Bank

Question: Once your house is foreclosed on and you have had liens against your house do they follow you?

We got sued a couple of years ago when a kid got injured on our property. He won a settlement of $75,000. They put a lien on our house. Our house was foreclosed and sold at auction and we were evicted on Sunday. We got a note from the bank saying thank you for paying off your house. If we go to buy a new house someday does the $75,000 lien come with us or was it settled when a flipper bought our house?

Answer: Was the house sold for more then you owed? If it did then what ever was left over then it would have gone to payoff that lien. If not then the lien will follow you until it is paid off. If the house was sold for less then the amount owed you will be responsible for the difference of that also. Good Luck.
