What Happens in Foreclosure?
Interest, penalties, and legal costs accrue. The payoff grows monthly.
Once scheduled, you must close before the auction to stop the sale.
If not cured or sold, the property may be auctioned and ownership lost.
Foreclosure impacts credit; outcomes vary by loan and state law.
We don’t provide legal advice—consult your attorney or HUD counselor. We’ll coordinate with them.
