Oh contrare John. Read your mortgage. They can foreclose if you don’t keep the property up to “neighborhood standards” or some such language, and a few other things. I’ve never seen it done, but it’s in there!

Foreclosures Questions - Posted by ETinoco

My questions are on foreclosures:

1.A property is foreclosed when the owner defaults on their payments. What are other reasons why people go into foreclosure?

  1. When a homeowner defaults on his or her mortgage payments, and the mortgage is FHA or HUD approved, is the property held by the bank or by the FHA/HUD?

Thank you to everyone that responds to my post. I appreciate your time and information

Foreclosure happens when payments are not made. Period
Now the reason payments are not made varies, job loss,death, sickness, accidents, divorce, to name a few.
On FHA guaranteed loans the bank forecloses and then HUD reimburses the bank and takes property if it does not sell at auction.
