What are redemption rights? – These is when the borrower has the right to “redeem” what is owed and get title to their property after the sale. This is not available in all states and the length of this period varies. When the redemption period is long, investors purchase the junior liens on the property so that they may have the right to redeem the property from foreclosure. Whoever holds the most junior lien has the last right to redeem the property by paying the underlying liens. The highest right is reserved for the owner. By obtaining a quitclaim deed for the owner, you have the right to redeem the property yourself.

Question: How many payments can I miss before my lender puts my property in foreclosure? – Answer: It depends on what type of loan you have. Your mortgage contract should state how many payment you can miss before a Notice of Default is filed and sent to you.
