Miami Foreclosures Fallacies Your Must Know to Avoid

In the city’s housing market, Miami foreclosures are the most numerous. Many homeowners, especially those hard hit by the recession, lose their homes to foreclosure. This is bad news for them but good news for homebuyers and investors. But before you jump in the foreclosure market, you must know which information about these properties are correct and which isn’t. Here are three examples of the latter.

Foreclosure happens immediately after a missed payment 

If a homeowner misses a payment, that doesn’t automatically warrants a foreclosure the next day or even the next week.Miami foreclosures, like others in the country, require more than six months to be official, and more than half of that time duration is given to homeowners to update their payments. Homeowners must be 90 days behind their mortgage before their property enters the official foreclosure process. That is the initial time they have to get their mortgage payments back on track. 

During the next months until the day before the auction, they still have the chance to reclaim their properties before they officially become part of the Miami foreclosures market. The entire process takes about four months to complete. This gives the homeowners plenty of time to repair their situation. And buyers should wait for the home to be officially foreclosed before making an offer. 

A foreclosure property is already a foreclosure 

Technically, once a home enters the foreclosure, it is indeed a foreclosure. But, the process has stages. These stages are important knowledge every buyer must know. First, there is the pre-foreclosure in which the homeowner still possesses the home. The value of the pre-foreclosure home is significantly low but the house still has enough equity to warrant a sale. There is also the foreclosure stage, where the buyer can purchase the house at the auction. Lastly, there is the post-foreclosure, where the bank repossesses unsold homes. In short, the right action to purchase these properties depends on the part of the process they're in. 

Banks foreclose owners 

Lastly, banks don’t foreclose owners; they foreclose homes. However, knowing that the home is about to be listed in the Miami foreclosures market is distressing. The process is overall emotional and difficult. Buyers shouldn’t be too quick to judge owners of foreclosures. Instead, understanding what they're going through and showing a bit of empathy during the sale is often the right approach. And even if the transaction is all about the property, buyers should also learn how to properly deal with the homeowners as well.

Want to avoid Foreclosure !!! HELP?

I have a townhome in Miami and need to sell it since Countrywide has increased the payments from 2,500 to 3,400. I just cant pay this property and now I have to sell it ASAP. I havent been able to pay for over 4 months and now that I finally have a buyer Countrywide is sending a payoff of over $326k when it was suppose to be $295k!!! They want to charge me penalties and other stuff but I am trying to avoid a foreclosure .. why cant they work with me here and waive some of the penalties or costs ??? Somebody help me ... any advice?

1. speak to an attorney.
2. tell countrywide that they're idiots.
3. tell them that they would rather get pennies at the doorsteps of the courthouse....than actually get paid right now!

you need to talk to a manager..and explained that they will lose more than you will. you have a buyer right now who is willing to offer 295k.....they might get 150-200 at the courthouse. that's moronic!
