Foreclosures Demystified - 4hrs CE

In today`s real estate marketplace, foreclosures and short sales are a part of the landscape.  Lenders back their mortgage loans with real property, providing security for the loan.  Homeowners experiencing financial difficulties sometimes find themselves in positions where mortgage payments go 90 or more days past due.  Based on the mortgage agreement, when mortgage payments go unpaid, the loan is in default.  Mortgage lenders attempt to remedy default loans with foreclosure mechanisms, using the security on the loan to repay the debt.

Through this course*, you will gain a clear understanding of the steps of the foreclosure process.  You will also become aware of legislation that has been passed in hopes of assisting distressed homeowners.  Homeowners must understand that real estate professionals cannot give legal advice.  Real estate professionals need to be aware of state foreclosure processes and instruct homeowners to seek assistance from mortgage and legal professionals as soon as possible.

Course highlights include:
  • Details about legislation that has been enacted to assist distressed homeowners
  • Rebuilding steps for homeowners who are recovering from foreclosure
  • An explanation of the differences between judicial foreclosure and trust deed non-judicial foreclosure processes
  • Foreclosure avoidance tips and ideas
