Purchasing A Foreclused Property From Owner In Redemption Period
Hi All,
I would like to purchase a foreclosure that is in the redemption period. I contacted the attorneys for the property and they say the property is not for sale because it is in the redemption period. I want this property for myself, not as an investment.
My question is, can I still purchase the property from the owners? And if so, how do I go about doing this?
Do I give them the money to redeem the property and then have them deed it over to me? How do I ensure they dont take the money and run?
Also, is it too late to work with the lender and try to do a short sale?
Thanks!!
by an assignment of redemption rights.
So, just to be clear, all I have to do is a contract with them for the sale of the home and have them sign over their redemptive rights to me? How can I buy it from them, if its in foreclosure?
Thanks for the reply!
A few things:
In Iowa simply take the deed to the property. Pay the homeowner for any equity if need be. Also get a signed authorization to release information and limited power of attorney.
After you own the property, get a payoff quote and payoff the loan. You can do this via a refinance if you want.
Some banks will entertain a short sale at this time; others won't. You can contact them and try to work one out.
GOOD LUCK
thank you!
Hi All, me again,
I spoke to the lender and they say the home is on its way back to HUD. I am trying to find the owners (the property was sold at auction in November, its empty).
My questions are this:
If I cannot find the owners, does anyone know of a way to get the property from HUD before the bidding process? Can I deal with them directly and do a short sale? I want to get the property for the foreclosure amount, not the appraised value.
If I do find the owners and get them to redeem the house, will there be a problem because HUD is now involved? Would I pay off HUD or the Bank who bought it at auction?
Thanks!!
