Is there a way to contact a bank for foreclosures? Bank of America owes a condo in my complex. Currently it has not been listed as a short/foreclosure so realtors and brokers don't know of it until it gets released. Is there a way I can make a deal directly with the bank? If so, how would I contact the bank etc.
How do I find a list of bank owned foreclosures in my area? We are looking to buy a house and have the benefit of being able to pay cash. I feel that I would be able to leverage this the most by buying a foreclosed property off a bank at a discount.

Bank of America Faulting all Foreclosures until when? Ok so on October 20th Bank of America accepted our offer on a house. Then on November 1st the house began escrow. I heard however, that Bank of America was halting all foreclosures like on October 8th. So I was wondering why they would accept our offer and then go into escrow. It was a foreclosure by the way. So I'm wondering if is it ever going to close escrow or whats going to happen. And when is Bank of America going to start selling their houses.

Why is it the big bank's fault for all the foreclosures in America? Last time I checked you needed to sign a sheet of paper which states the terms and conditions of your chosen agreement? Do these people not read the fine print? Where did the phrase 'buyer beware' go? These evicted people are screaming and yelling at people who are just doing their jobs, I wonder if they were screaming and yelling when they walked out of the bank with a fist full of money.
help with understanding bank owned foreclosures? If a bank owns a house that is worth 200,000 lets say. And lets also say that all that is owed on the house is 100,000. As a buyer, if I put in a bid of 115,000(to cover closing costs) is the bank going to accept this offer. I heard a rumor that all the bank wants to do is collect the money owed on the house and whatever they recieve after that, they give to the original owners. Is this true? Help clarify some of this for me. I am in the state of Texas if that makes a difference. Thanks. Ya but lets say that whatever I am offering is covering all of the banks cost, if this is so, then what's to say that the bank won't sell me the house with a low-ball price?
Bank foreclosures and deficiencies in Georgia.? I live in the state of Georgia and have a rental property that has a mortgage.

Is the real estate course offered by Bank Foreclosures Direct worth the money? I attended a seminar held by Bank Foreclosures Direct recently. However, the cost of the course is $1500, and they were not fourth coming with any guarantee. The information they claim to provide sounds incredibly useful, but I have not had much luck finding anything about the company online or through the BBB. Has anyone that attended the course found the information useful and would you recommend spending the money? Did the instructor offer more programs or mentoring at an additional cost? I am not interested in spending additional money beyond the cost of the program. Because I have not been able to find a BBB rating, I am apprehensive about spending the money on the program. I have read blogs stating that it is similar to Trump Education, and that the information is vague. One person says that it requires more time than they say. I have time, however, I do not have money to waste on a program that does not work. Thanks for the input.
What price should I ask for a bank foreclosure? I was wondering if anyone has ever bid on, and won a bank foreclosed home. If I should bid on a foreclosed home, how much lower than the asking price should I ask? If a home is listed let's say $75k, think I should low ball them? A price somewhere in the low $50'sK? The house I would like to bid on is in Central Texas. Although the housing market seems to be slow right now, it's not as slow in Texas as in other states. Thanks.

A first look at bank foreclosure homes, your thoughts please? I am not looking to buy cheap, just better priced, and near where I work in Miami Beach, Florida. A friend suggested getting a list of bank foreclosures from an agent, comparing them with other listed homes in the same area, and said that at least I could be sure the title to each would be "clear". I have enough capital and credit to buy a couple of units, one to rent out. What other advantages is this market likely to offer me?
Trust Account Question Concerning Bank Foreclosures? My mother has $100k in a CD, she also has 3 other CDs in the same bank (Wachovia) for a total of approx $60k. The CDs are in a trust account bearing my brother's and my name. Q: Because it is a trust acct under 2 people's names does the $100k FDIC rule apply here (meaning she's covered under FDIC for the full $160k)? Or is it considered just 1 name ("trust") and therefore she should get out the $60k ASAP and put it in another bank. Wachovia seems to be in trouble and I don't want to see her lose $60k (even tho she'd get a penalty for early withdrawal as these CD's don't mature till November 2008). TY for responding.

Tampa FL Foreclosures at Courthouse $100 Bank bids ? This is specific to Tampa FL- courthouse home auction- why do banks have to bid on props they already have foreclosed on? Several banks bid $100 and some higher. I thought the title to the property was being auctioned by the bank, so why would they bid to buy back what they already own ? Why do they have to bid against others since one would assume they took back the property in foreclosure. Any info from county courthouse clerks, real estate attorneys, investors would be helpful to clarify the legal process and why banks bid.

Can attorneys representing the bank in a foreclosure tell a tenant not to pay rent and that they can stay? Can the atty representing the bank tell a tenant...(one who is behind on rent for nearly 6 months and will not get out of the house) tell the tenant that they can stay until the foreclosure is complete and that the landlord can do nothing? Little odd since it is this type of tenant and others like him that put the landlord in foreclosure....Landlord also wants to know what his rights are when it comes to the rents and filing bk? Can what rents he is able to collect be used by a maintenance company to keep the property in good repair and occupied through the process?
Questions about carrying costs for a bank-owned foreclosure property? I can’t find any internet sources on this so hopefully someone here can help. I am more than willing to do the calculations myself if someone has a formula for this. If a bank foreclosed on a mortgage that was somewhere between $150-160,000, what would it cost that bank per month in carrying costs? If you can’t give me a number, can you at least define "carrying costs?" I understand that it’s the cost of owning the home until it sells, but what items/expenses make up the actual cost? Is it just the foregone mortgage payments? Thanks so much in advance!
How much will bank bid at Foreclosure Auction? I have been looking to purchase a house but it has went to foreclosure and will be auctioned off at the county court house this week.

Or, would they stop at a lower bid? what is the norm?
What is a bank's responsibility for a foreclosure's interior? We are going to closing on a foreclosure--incredible neighborhood and great potential for the home. However, the interior of this house was destroyed by squatters who graffitied and punched holes in every wall, removed the door knobs and tore off cabinets. I realize that it is pretty much an "as is" deal, but when my parents bought a foreclosure the bank had made repairs and whitewashed the entire home before we moved in. Just curious. We have so much to do before we can start living there.
How do banks lose on loan foreclosures? If the bank owns the property after receiving mortgage payments, how does that put them into a losing situation. How many foreclosures occurred this year? How have housing starts afected the collapse of so many banks?
I live in Florida and the bank just filed for foreclosure. How long do I have to vacate my home? I received the papers 2 weeks ago that our bank is foreclosing on our home. I have not received any additional information, but we are not fighting the foreclosure. The truth is we can not afford our home due to my husband's job loss. How long do we have before we are evicted, and what is the notification process for this eviction? Can they just show up unannounced and throw us out? I am clueless. Thank you.

what happens to your escrow money after foreclosure and the bank takes possession? The bank took possesion this month on my house that foreclosed. We escrowed taxes and insurance for a year in advance. What happens to that money when the bank ownes the house now? Do I have to cancel my own insurance or does the mortgage co do that? My situation sux but Im sure it has happened to alot of good people.. Thanks in advance!
How late do you have to be on your mortgage payments before a bank will start foreclosure procedings? My sister, a nurse, is off work due to a broken leg and her husband (deadbeat) quit his job just a couple of days after she got hurt and hasn't gotten a new one in the last 5 weeks. She doesn't have sick leave or temporary disability insurance. She missed this month's mortgage payment. She will probably be off work another 4-6 weeks if her leg heals okay. So that means missing at least a second and maybe a third payment. But her doctor worries with the type of fracture she had that it may rebreak after she gets the cast off and tries to walk on it with even a boot. Then he would have to do surgery with plates and pins. She could be off work for up to 3 months more if that happens, which would put her missing almost 6 payments. I don't want her to lose her house, but I don't want to give her any money until she is truly at risk because I don't want her husband to benefit from it.
What are your options when a bank has filed foreclosure on your residence? Can you just bring your loan up to date and have it restored? Does one have the right to owrk out a payment plan with the finacial institution? Can the payments be put on the end of your mortgage like in a forebearance case? If your house is sold by the bank do you get the difference between the loan and the equity present in the property? I owe @ $2500 on a 600k house in which my equity should be over 400k. Any suggestions?

So Califonria -Bank of America - Mortgage Foreclosures? How does Bank of America foreclose on their mortgage loans? Will they pursue a Deficiency Judgement on their mortgage and HELOC? I know each bank at each state does differently. Will Southern California BOA go after home owner?

I currently have a invest property that will go into foreclosure. Can the bank take my primary residence? I am concerned. I am in the first stages of this situation and i called the bank the other day telling them i could no longer afford the payment. I would like to work out an afforable payment plan with them but i have my primary residence which has a quite a bit of equity and also another investment property which also has equity in it. i am concerned that they will want to secure the payment plan by possibly placing a lien or something on one of the properties and if i can not afford the pymnt in the future my biggest concern is them taking my own primary residence. also when i got the loan i think they are under the impression that the house that is going into foreclosure is my primary residence. i live in southern ca
Can someone define these terms to a student researching foreclosures? I compiled a list of foreclosures off realtytrac.com and I am doing a demographic study of the affected zip code. The web site differentiates between the following terms: Pre-foreclosure; Auction; Bank-owned; FSBO; Resale Any knowledge at what determines the housing status would be greatly appreciated, it doesnt have to be too detailed, I just want to be able to filter what I need.
Can I get a loan on a bank-owned foreclosure anywhere? I'm looking into purchasing a condo that has been foreclosed and is now owned by a bank. It's priced at around $37K. Would I be able to shop around for a loan anywhere I want? Or are there certain restrictions on where/who I can get a loan from when it comes to these types of properties?
Do the banks actually prefer foreclosures? The looming housing crisis acutally seems fairly simple to forestall or fix. It seems to me that anything is better than a default, right? When the mortgage holder defaults, the lender gets nothing. Therefore, if there were to be a massive conversion of all these two year ARMs to reasonable fixed rate mortgages, the potential crisis could be wholly averted. But this isn't happening. This leads me to believe that the banks actually prefer foreclosure and firesale which typically results in another mortgage. I think the problem may be that the mortgages are no longer held by the banks. They have been collateralized and sold as investment vehicles. So they bank is not left holding the worthless mortgage, rather, the CDO investor is left holding the worthless mortgage. Therefore, the bank doesn't really give a sht. But in this scenario, shouldn't the defaulted house actually belong to the investor rather than the bank? Can anyone comment intelligently on this?
