Hey pal,

I heard from my lawyer that foreclosure is a legal process wherein the lender has to sell the property to recover dues of the defaulted mortgage. The homeowner is evicted and all the legal rights are taken over by the lender. I will share with you tips I have gathered on the topic and answer the burning question of ‘can you buy a pre foreclosure home with a loan’.

You can buy a foreclosure or a pre foreclosure property by paying the total property amount in cash. You can get a bank to finance your mortgage/ home loan. The eligibility criteria for availing the home loan will be set by the bank. Generally, the bank that is selling the property will not provide finance for the same. 

Can anyone buy a foreclosure home?

When a foreclosure property is publicly auctioned, anyone from the public can purchase the property. As long as you can afford the auction price, you can buy the property. There are certain benefits one gets from buying such a property. I will

list them below: 

  • Financial gains

  • High returns on investment

  • Early due diligence

  • Lower mortgage payments

Tips:

  • I would advise you to calculate your budget beforehand for the auction and consider the additional expenses( plumbing, electrical, and other major repairs) you might have to bear. 

  • Check the quality, the layout of the construction and the locality of the property before making a bid. If the construction quality is bad, you will be wasting your money investing in a foreclosure property. 

  • You should cross-check all property documents and ensure there are no pending loan payments, property taxes or utility bills.

I hope this clarifies your query: can you buy a pre foreclosure home with a loan.
