The Business of Lending Money
Summary:
Lending institutions primarily focus on providing loans for home buyers and businesses. They typically avoid the repossession process for defaulted mortgages, as it can be lengthy and costly. Working through financial challenges with borrowers is often more cost-effective and simpler than taking ownership of a property.
Article Body:
Lending institutions specialize in offering loans to home buyers and businesses. They generally have no interest in repossessing properties from borrowers who default on their mortgages. The repossession process is not only time-consuming but also expensive. It is often more efficient and economical for lenders to collaborate with borrowers to resolve financial issues rather than seize the property.
However, there are situations where repossession becomes the only viable option for lenders to recover funds from a defaulted loan. In these instances, lenders initiate the process to claim ownership. Borrowers, meanwhile, do have legal options to retain ownership through the courts, though these are bound by stringent legal requirements. Without meeting these criteria, retaining their property becomes challenging for borrowers.
Typically, when lenders seek foreclosure, borrowers receive a set period to catch up on overdue mortgage payments. If they fail to do so, the entire mortgage balance becomes due. Although this is difficult to achieve, courts sometimes give borrowers a chance to sell the property, provided the sale will fully satisfy the mortgage agreement.
Should the borrower fail to meet the sale deadline, they can appeal the foreclosure. However, if unsuccessful, the lender gains possession, and the borrower faces eviction. Once evicted, the lender legally owns the property and can pursue the remaining balance and costs incurred. Staying in close contact with the bank can often prevent this outcome.
In most cases, the lender will either put the property on the market or auction it. If the sale price doesn't cover the remaining balance, the previous owner remains liable for the difference. Conversely, if the sale exceeds the owed amount, the surplus is forwarded to the previous owner. Although rare, this scenario is possible if the property has significant untapped equity.
Many view repossession as the end of their financial stability, fearing they will never own property again. However, once financial obligations are cleared and credit history is rebuilt, alternative lending sources may be open to offering a future mortgage. Rebuilding credit is crucial and worthwhile, and a knowledgeable financial advisor can guide this process. Improving credit scores takes effort but holds significant importance for future financial opportunities.
