What are Foreclosure Homes?

Many people are confused about what foreclosure homes are. To really understand what a foreclosure is, you must understand the foreclosure process.

Foreclosures are simply homes where the previous owner defaulted on their loan and the bank took possession of the home. These properties were unable to sell at the Trustee Sale or Foreclosure Auction. These properties are then known as REO or Bank Owned Homes.

Notices of trustee sales are public record and are posted in the Standard Examiner. You can view upcoming Trustee Sales in the legal section online. The tricky part aabout purchasing properties at foreclosure auctions is that you have to put down a $5,000 deposit to make a bid, and then have to pay the full purchase price by noon the following day.

For Ogden Utah, Foreclosure Auctions Take Place at the Weber County Courthouse at 2525 Grant Avenue.

 

Can I buy foreclosure homes with bad credit or no money down?

Many people think that the standards to purchase foreclosure homes are more lenient than other homes. The truth is that purchase standards for foreclosures are usually stricter than owner occupied properties. Many banks require large earnest money deposits, and proof of qualification before they will even allow you to make offers on Foreclosures. In addition, because many foreclosures are in poor shape, they won't qualify for FHA financing.
