Real Estate And Its Info
Sometimes, when you peruse property at an auction, you're issued a special deed or title which specifies that the property is redeemable. The title you hold is temporary; the title can, in a couple months, be bought back by the owner of the property. This type of title is defeasible, or temporary, because it can still be defeated. There are specific rules attached to this type of title.
The legalities of Redemption Rights: Whenever you purchase real estate with a special defeasible title, you can also purchase along with it, the redemption rights. Doing so ensures that the title you hold is permanent and can't be bought back by the owner. Laws that handle this type of transaction differ with each state, and can be confusing. Consult your real estate attorney if you want a fair trade.
When purchasing redemption rights, you may be dealing with an owner who is under a great deal of stress and may not be aware of the amount of equity they have in their property. Though they may be able to get more for their redemption rights, the rule of thumb is to offer the owner $1,500. They may ask for more, but you should weigh the amount of equity involved.
Furthermore, there's a good chance that the owner you're buying redemption rights from is currently handling a great deal of stress -their property is being auctioned off! It's likely that they're not aware of the equity. You however, as the buyer, should be aware of such. Tradition and, well, ethics pertain to the rule of thumb: $1500 for redemption rights. Should they ask for more, check the property's equity and again, consult your attorney.
The process of purchasing property usually starts with a loan. If you borrow $100,000 from a lender, that is a note. When you buy a piece of property, to make the property the collateral for that note, you get a mortgage or deed of trust. In a judicial state, it will typically be a mortgage. If the owner defaults on the note, the lender must take the owner to court to sue for payment. The mortgage attached to the note is the security instrument. If the owner does not pay, the property can be foreclosed.
Notes, deeds of trust, mortgages, real estate -an overview
In a Deed of Trust state, there are three parties involved in the foreclosure process:
Trustor = Borrower
Beneficiary: Whoever lends the money (aka mortgagee)
Trustee: Whoever is handling the transaction
So, in a Deed of Trust state, the Trustee would be the person to file the foreclosure on behalf of the Beneficiary. However, in a mortgage state, the mortgagee would hire a lawyer to start the foreclosure process. The Deed of Trust and a mortgage are two separate security instruments, but they perform the same function. They both secure the property as collateral.
There are two major strategies in the foreclosure business:
Short Sale
Equity Split
There may also be another option, a "subject to" transaction for more expensive properties. - 23229
