Foreclosure is a very serious matter, your now receiving all sorts of letters in the mail from different companies all telling you that they can help you. They could be all very confusing. If you've noticed, they all want you to do one of the following, so let's go over each of them one at a time.

Just Walk Away
It has come to our attention that some organizations are advising people on the phone and by mailers to home owners, to just walk away and let it go to foreclosure. It appears the organizations behind this campaign may be groups of investors that want to buy your property cheap at auction. This can be devastating for home owners in many states, as the home owner is responsible for the deficiency, which means if you owe $225,000 on your loan, and your home sells for $100,000 at auction, you're on the hook for the $125,000 difference. They can garnish wages to get it. This means the investor gets a great deal and the homeowner gets a huge bill as they are being kicked to the curb.

Private Investors/Lenders:
They will tell you that they will bring your mortgage current and payoff all back fees to save your home, and they will too, for a price of coarse.

In order for them to do that you must " quick Deed" (sign over your home to them in their name). In turn they will gladly lease your home back to you with 15-20% higher payments for maybe 1-2 or 3 years until they have made their investment back. Then they will agree sign your home back to you. Sounds good so far right? But here's the trick.

In the contract that you sign, always somewhere in the fine print. It will say if the leasee (you) are 24 hours late with your monthly payment within the duration of your contract, that the lessee (you) must evacuate the premises. Usually within 5 - 7 days. Over 90% of homeowners that fall for this trick end up losing there homes. These investors all know that you've had payment problems in the past, that's why they prey on homeowners in your situation. Next thing you know your family is out on the street, with no home or hope and the investor just tricked you out of your $150,000 home that cost them only $4,000 to $5,000 so PLEASE BEWARE, don't do it.

New Loan:
you to take out another loan (it sounds good on the surface but you'll pay much, much more in the long run). You have to start of a new loan from the beginning, you eventually lose all of your equity. All of your past payments are just wasted. You gain nothing. Don't fall for it.

Bankruptcy:
Don't do it! It will only save your home temporarily. Big rouble awaits you around the corner. Everyone says "file for bankruptcy it's easy don't worry we can get you squared away". Yea right. Do yourself a huge favor Don't do it!!

New York  Foreclosure Process

Foreclosure Process

When you develop a definite plan of action with well-timed, well-informed steps, you can stop the foreclosure process and save your home.  We have outline the foreclose process for the state of  New York.
New York

Judicial foreclosure available: Yes
Non-Judicial foreclosure available: Yes

Preferred Method: Judicial Foreclosure

Judicial foreclosure (foreclosure by lawsuit) is the primary method of foreclosure in New York. Although non-judicial foreclosure is available, it is seldom used. Non-judicial foreclosure procedures are sufficiently intricate to lead to potential title disputes. Such problems might make it very difficult to evict a tenant. Junior lien holders might also dispute the title and tie the matter up in litigation. Thus most lenders will elect a judicial foreclosure.

Judicial Foreclosure

Judicial foreclosure begins when the lender files a lawsuit. The lender will sue the borrower and any person who has a claim to the ownership or a possession interest. The lender, as plaintiff, has a summons and a complaint served on the borrower. The summons commands the borrower to come to court and answer the lender’s complaint; the complaint is the lawsuit proper, which describes the lender’s legal and factual basis for foreclosure. A notice of lis pendens must be filed. The lis pendens is a notice that a lawsuit is pending, the outcome of which affects title. Often, the borrower fails to answer. In that event, the court will appoint a referee to compute a figure for the foreclosure. The court may then sign a judgment of foreclosure and sale. If the borrower appears and defends against the lawsuit, then the court will determine the merits of the defense. The referee will need an oral hearing. If the lender wins, then a judgment of foreclosure and sale will be awarded.

Typically the foreclosure sale is advertised for 4 to 6 weeks. The sale is made by public auction to the highest bidder. The lender may bid, as well. The lender must distribute the proceeds according to the terms of the judgment signed by the judge. Surplus money will normally be held by a referee.

Deficiency

If the mortgage contains an express covenant to pay, then the lender may seek a deficiency judgment against the borrower if the court ordered sale does not produce sufficient funds. The lender can ask the court for a deficiency judgment for the amount left unpaid after the foreclosure sale. The motion for the deficiency judgment must be made within 90 days after the foreclosure sale. The court must determine the market value and credit the greater of the market value or the foreclosure sales price against what remains unpaid on the loan.

Redemption

After the judicial foreclosure, there is no redemption period. This is true of non-judicial foreclosure, as well.
