Hello, and welcome to Part II of our foreclosure series! Today, we share more tips on how to buy a foreclosure property.
The banks selling foreclosed properties will often want you to live in the home for one year before selling. If you intend on buying a distressed property, plan on being there for at least a year! The bank will make you sign an occupancy affidavit, which will place a restriction on the deed. If you try to sell the property before occupying it for a year, they will fine you!
Be aware of title issues when purchasing a foreclosed property. HOA title issues are common on these properties, to say nothing of the many other title problems that can arise. Working with a competent closing agent who will do a title search on the property before you commit will help you avoid any unexpected problems.
