Usually (but not always), a lender will send out\u00a0many notices that you are in arrears \u2013 overdue or behind in your payment.\n<h3><strong>Under Judicial Foreclosure:<\/strong><\/h3>\n<ul>\n \t<li>Your mortgage lender must file suit in the court system.<\/li>\n \t<li>You\u2019ll get a letter from the court demanding payment.<\/li>\n \t<li>Assuming the loan is valid, you\u2019ll have 30 days to bring payment to court to\u00a0avoid foreclosure (and sometimes that can be extended).<\/li>\n \t<li>If you don\u2019t pay during the payment period, a judgment will be entered and\u00a0the lender can request the sale of your property \u2013 usually through an auction.<\/li>\n \t<li>Once the property is sold, the sheriff serves an eviction notice and forces you\u00a0to immediately vacate the property.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<h3><strong>Under Power of Sale (or Non-Judicial Foreclosure):<\/strong><\/h3>\n<ul>\n \t<li>The mortgage lender serves you with papers demanding payment, and the\u00a0courts are not required \u2013 although the process may be subject to judicial\u00a0review.<\/li>\n \t<li>After the established waiting period has elapsed, a deed of trust is drawn up\u00a0and control of your property is transferred to a trustee.<\/li>\n \t<li>The trustee can then sell your property to the lender at a public auction\u00a0(notice must be given).<\/li>\n<\/ul>\nAnyone who has an interest in the property must be notified during either type of\u00a0foreclosure.\n\nFor example, any contractors or banks with liens against a foreclosed\u00a0property are entitled to collect from the proceedings of an auction.\n<h3>What Happens After A\u00a0Foreclosure Auction?<\/h3>\nAfter a foreclosure is complete, the loan amount is paid off with the sale proceeds.\n\nSometimes, if the sale of the property at auction isn\u2019t enough to pay off the loan,\u00a0a <strong><em>deficiency judgment<\/em> <\/strong>can be issued against the borrower.\n\nA deficiency judgment is where the bank gets a judgment against you, the borrower, for the remaining funds owed to the bank on the loan amount after the foreclosure sale.\n\nSome states limit the\u00a0amount owed in a deficiency judgment to the fair value of the property at the time\u00a0of sale, while other states will allow the full loan amount to be assessed against the\u00a0borrower.\n\nHere&#8217;s a great resource that lists the <a href=\"http:\/\/www.nolo.com\/legal-encyclopedia\/after-the-foreclosure-deficiency-judgments-taxes\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">state by state deficiency judgment laws,<\/a> since every state is different.\n\nGenerally, it\u2019s best to avoid a foreclosure auction. Instead, call up the bank, or work with a reputable real estate firm like us at Chris Buys Homes in Indianapolis to help you negotiate\u00a0discounts off the amount owed to avoid having to carry out a foreclosure.\n\nExperienced investors can help you by negotiating directly with banks to lower the\u00a0amount you owe in a sale \u2013 or even eliminate it, even if your home is worth less than\u00a0you owe.\n\nIf you need to sell a property near Indianapolis, we can help you.\n\n<a href=\"\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">We buy houses in Indianapolis<\/a> IN\u00a0like yours from people who need to sell fast.\n<h3 style=\"text-align: center\"><strong>Give us a call anytime (317) 526-4712 or\n<a href=\"\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">fill out the form\u00a0on this website today! &gt;&gt;<\/a><\/strong><\/h3>\n&nbsp;\n\n<strong>Another Foreclosure Resource For Indianapolis IN HomeOwners:<\/strong>\n<ul>\n \t<li><a href=\"http:\/\/portal.hud.gov\/hudportal\/HUD?src=\/topics\/avoiding_foreclosure\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">Resources On Avoiding Foreclosure from the U.S. Government &gt;&gt;<\/a><\/li>\n<\/ul>","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Understanding the foreclosure process in IN is an important part of navigating your own home foreclosure.
