What is Foreclosure?

Foreclosure is when the lender takes possession of a property because the borrower is not making loan payments.

The Lender

For the lender, foreclosure results in the loss of tens of thousands of dollars, sometimes as much as 40 percent of the loan principal or home value.

The Borrower

Not only does the borrower have to re-locate from their home, foreclosure also results in long-term damage to the borrower’s credit rating. Even when the borrower recovers from their financial difficulties, a foreclosure can make it difficult to get a loan for a future home purchase, for college expenses or to even get a VISA or MasterCard. Even if the borrower is able to get credit, they will likely have to pay higher interest rates.

Avoiding Foreclosure
