Foreclosed Chicago

Question: If you rent, and the landlord gets foreclosed on, do you still pay rent?

I was just reading an article about how renters in Cook County (which is Chicago and some suburbs) now get 120 days notice of foreclosure before they get evicted. So I was wondering, if you are a renter and your landlord isn't making the mortgage payments, are you still obligated to pay rent? I would think that once you got notice that the property was being foreclosed on, you wouldn't have to pay rent anymore, since your rent wasn't going to the mortgage anyway and you are losing your home. Anybody know for sure?
Just wanted to add-I am not in this situation, I was reading about it and wondering how it would work.

Answer: Since there is still an owner (now the bank) and you still occupy the owner's premises (the apartment) you still have to pay rent. Just make sure you pay it to the correct party.

Illinois Foreclosed Homes

Question: Does the FHA appraisal require appliances?

My agent insists that it does. I am FHA approved and looking at foreclosed homes which usually don't have appliances. My agent has said that I must install appliances prior to the appraisal, but I risk the chance of not getting them out of the house in case I don't close. I live in Illinois if it makes a difference!

Answer: FHA 100% requires appliances. The house has to be in move in condition.

FHA rarely approves foreclosures, you really should be looking at normal homes if you want FHA approval. The biggest problem is getting all of the water and power up and running prior to the inspection, the banks are not so great about that. This is the main reason most will not accept FHA bids, just too much of a hassle.

Can you believe California has nearly one fourth of the countries foreclosure filings!?!

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.
