How long after foreclosure do I have until I have to be out of my house?

Question: How long after foreclosure do I have until I have to be out of my house?

Answer: -Well it depends on your states laws as to how much time you have until you have to vacate your home.  If you live in a trust deed state where the redemption period is before the auction, then you’ll have a few weeks to a month to leave your home.  If you live in a state where foreclosure is filed judicially, typically the redemption period is after the auction so again depending on your states laws and redemption period after foreclosure, it could be a few months up to six months.

The best way to find out how long after foreclosure until you have to be out of your home is to call up a title company and ask them or you can visit your State Laws page and see when you redemption period is.

I WAS A WINNING BIDDER AT A TRUSTEE SALE, BUT IT WAS A SECOND LIEN. WHAT SHOULD I DO NEXT?

Question: I WAS A WINNING BIDDER AT A TRUSTEE SALE, BUT IT WAS A SECOND LIEN. WHAT SHOULD I DO NEXT?

Answer: –  Pray there is not a first mortgage or any back taxes you have to pay…Ha Ha.   Hopefully you did your research prior to the foreclosure auction and found the property to be worth a great deal more than what the 1st was owed and what you paid for the 2nd.  If not, you may want to think hard about an exit strategy.  But assuming you did all your due diligence, as the winning bidder your state and county will determine when you need to come up with money to pay for the property.  It ranges from state to state anywhere from 24 hours after the foreclosure auction to 30 days.  If you can’t get the money within that time, you lose any money you may have had to put down.  Then you may still have to wait to do anything to it if there is a redemption period in your state.

Hi Jarad
Thanks for a great course.

Two months ago...if someone told me that I would have a deal going in real estate I would have told them they were crazy. I read the Foreclosure and Flippers books and started sending letters to people whose homes were up for sheriff's auction. I brought in an investor to buy the house and give my client some money to help him start over. The profit on this property will be about 40k. Not too bad for sending out a few letters.
