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!!

Washington, D.C. Foreclosure Process

Under the District of Columbia Code, Washington, D.C.  uses non-judicial foreclosure under a power of sale clause granted in a deed of trust.

Sales Procedures

Normally, a Washington, D.C. deed of trust will state the time periods for notice of the foreclosure sale. If it does not, then the dates may be set by any interested party by going to court and getting a court order to set them.

Preliminary Notices

A notice of sale must be given to the owner of the property at his or her last known address, and furnished to the mayor, or the mayor's agent, at least 30 days before the foreclosure sale. Otherwise, the foreclosure is not valid.

Reinstatement

One time in a given year the debtor may reinstate the loan up to 5 days before the foreclosure sale by paying all sums that are past due on the loan, including late charges and penalties, regardless of whether the loan was accelerated or not.

Sale

The sale will be made by a trustee by public bid.

Redemption

There is no right of redemption after a deed of trust foreclosure sale.

Deficiency

A lawsuit for a deficiency may be brought against the borrower for any amount due on the loan that was left unpaid after the foreclosure sale.
