I have had a lot of buyers contact me over the years regarding Idaho Foreclosures. Seems like everyone wants to get on the bandwagon and buy a foreclosure property.
Are all Idaho Foreclosures created equal? The answer is no! Many do not understand the differences in foreclosures and I hope to answer some misunderstandings here.
When a seller cannot make the payments on a home the home is foreclosed on and eventually goes to public auction at which time anyone can bid on the home, including the bank that holds the note. In this scenario the winning bidder must pay cash for the property at the time of winning the bid and must buy it subject to any back taxes, irrigation, liens etc. One must be very experienced when purchasing these properties and know the pitfalls associated with them. There are things you can do to protect yourself when purchasing these kinds of foreclosures.
The other types of foreclosures are homes that have already been taken back by the lender. This is when the lender bought the home back at the public auction mentioned above. Now that the bank has taken the home back all back taxes, irrigation, liens etc. are wiped out. You can make an offer on these types of bank owned foreclosures subject to financing and inspections. These types of purchases are best for those purchasers that want more security and less potential pitfalls.
I hope this information has been helpful and I encourage you to contact me with any questions you have. Happy home hunting!
