My sister is already facing bank foreclosure but she also just got a letter saying that she will be facing homeowner’s association foreclosure because of unpaid dues. They’re filling a lien against her … I don’t understand the difference … I thought only banks could foreclose.

I’ve been looking up foreclosures at the county office to buy a foreclosure (the ones about to be auctioned). Someone said I should be looking at REO foreclosures. What’s the difference, and how do I buy one and or get info on these?

I was wondering this because(no i am not going bankrupt) it seems that good credit is vital to obtain anything, even a place to live. i think it’s ridiculous. people who have gone bankrupt need a place to live to, and a car to drive. How do they get an apartment in thier circumstances? and how do people with poor credit get one? live on the streets? It seems very unfair.

I’m declaring chapter 13, to include a mortgage foreclosure, reposession of a car and 13 credit cards. I want to buy at some point in the future. How long before I can get a mortgage again?

I filed for bankruptcy in 2004 and I have been paying on it for so long now that I have a chance to pay it on out. I have about a year left to go if I don’t pay it on out. I want to refinance my house. If I pay my bankruptcy and my case is discharged, how long shall I wait before applying for a loan to refinance my home?

The buyer for our home just backed out and we have to close next Friday on the house we had made an offer on. We don’t have enough cash on hand without our equity in this house to make the down payment. Is there anyway we can get a loan to make the down payment so we can move ahead with the purchase. I would rather not get a bridge or finance 100%.

I own two condos one, I live the other I am renting out. Both dont have any equity yet. I already have 51% debt to income. I can still afford MXM 5K down including closing costs and tax prepayments. My interest is to buy foreclosures and sell after ~2 yrs. I am aiming at high end units that can currently be bought at ~200K but will apraise to ~350 in about 6mos. Is there a way to find finance in this situation.

Hello. I am attempting to buy a foreclosure in San Diego that is a single family residence with a total square footage of 528. I was told it is difficult for banks to finance anything under 600 square feet. The house is in good shape but its tiny. I need financing asap since the bank already accepted my offer. Thanks.

Ok, this is starting to get rather confusing. I am looking to buy a home in a surprisingly cheap neighborhood. The house I am interested in purchasing is under $50,000. My credit qualifies me for a bad credit loan, but no one wants to finance for such a small amount. I am definately trying to live within my means and do not necessarily want to purchase a higher value home just because I can. Does anyone have any idea where I can finance such a house even though my credit is tarnished (but getting fixed due to multiple discrepencies)? I know there are different requirements depending on the state. My state is PA, and I am first time homebuyer.
