What is strict foreclosure? – Not a common procedure, a strict foreclosure does not require a sale. Once the proceeding has begun, the borrower has only a certain amount of time to pay what is owed. After this time, the title reverts to the lender. Strict foreclosure has been seen in many Oregon and California cases, usually taking place regarding land contracts.
Q2: How can I buy an auction property? – Answer: After a property owner misses several mortgage payments, the owner has a pre-foreclosure grace period of a few weeks to a few months — depending on the state — to bring the payments up to date and stop any foreclosure proceedings. If the owner does not bring the delinquent payments up to date during the pre-foreclosure period, the property will be sold at a public auction.
