Minnesota Foreclosure Timeline
Before we start the timeline I’d like to let you know that you can do a short sale these days being zero payments behind. The process starts when you become 30 days late. At this point the lender will often call you from their collections department. After being 60+ days late and missing 2 payments you will get more serious letters from the lender you may also receive a NOD-Notice of Default. By the 3rd payment when you are 90+ days late the lender will likely hire an attorney and file a foreclosure. At this point the arrears of all late payments, late fees, attorney’s fees are added together. The bank at this point, will not take partial payments. The homeowner will need to come up with the total of all payments, late fees, and attorney’s fees to reinstate the loan to stop the foreclosure timeline. From the moment the foreclosure is filed the lender only is required to advertise in the legal newspaper for 6 weeks.
After 6 weeks the house gets auctioned at the sheriff sale, often the lender will secure their position at the sheriff sale. The homeowner now has a right to sell their house in the final redemption period which is often a 6 month time period. The seller would need to come up with the fall loan amount and or amount it sells for at the sheriff sale, during the redemption period, in order to keep the house, this is likely too much money for most people especially with there current credit condition. Junior lien holders such as 2nd, 3rd mortgages, and mechanic liens will lose everything through an entire foreclosure process. Because of this, us, as negotiators can call the banks for a discount to lower the mortgage(s) resulting in a more competitive price so that we can help get your house sold faster.
