If you are looking to buy foreclosures, check out Bank Owned REO homes for sale. When I think of sheriff sales or short sales
I don't think of a contract for deed. The reason is that if a buyer is making their payments to the seller, than the seller should
be making their payments to their bank where they have the loan. The second reason is that some homeowners own houses
free and clear, and it's very unlikely to hear of a sheriff sale or short sale in this situation.
If a house falls behind in payments, and ends up in foreclosure, or a short sale is needed, it could be a very sticky
situation no matter if you are the buyer or the seller, and it could likely end up as a civil matter that needs to get resolved.
The buyer in the scenario of the contract for deed going into foreclosure is going to be concerned about where to move next,
how much time is left in the foreclosure timeline. Also the buyer will be concerned about the down payment that was put down
on the house. Remember if the payments aren't being made, at this point it would heard the seller's credit since they were the
ones not making payments to their bank and thus it's being reported. Buyer's and sellers should seek an attorney's advice, but
here are some things to think about. A buyer still could have time before the sheriff sale, or after to sell the house in the
redemption period. Why not consider a short sale with the permission of the seller. The seller's credit is already damaged some
due to the missed payments, possibly the house has no equity, and the only solution is to get the house for less. The buyer at this
point would be a buyer of a short sale, and will have to be very patient, and will have to get ready to get some home loan financing.
The seller may simply just want to do a cancellation on the contract for deed, but I don't think the decision will be so easy. It's
very likely that the buyer will feel they got the wrong end of the deal by putting a down payment down, not enough time to secure
financing, and shouldn't have been in this situation if they were making their payments, as well as buying a house with not enough
equity. If the buyer can't move quickly enough, maybe they want to get a relative to get financing and buy the home. In recent years
I've heard of buyers making their payments, and seller's not making theirs, so buyers should look out for this. Buyers can try to get
a copy of the monthly statements to see that the payments are being made. The buyer could ask to receive additional login rights
to the online bank account to make payments and to review account details. Buyer's and seller's should both be very careful to
make sure that insurance is kept current, and property taxes are paid, both could accelerate the foreclosure process if not kept
in current status. I wrote my article about MN homes for sale here locally. Please read my article by clicking this link
