SOUTH FLORIDA DEBT SETTLEMENT ATTORNEYS
PROTECTING YOUR INTERESTS WITH DYCK O’NEAL
Recent months have experienced an avalanche of less than savvy investors entering the foreclosure auction arena to try their luck on bidding on foreclosed properties. Many of these novice investors believe that they are getting a great deal because they are acquiring properties worth thousands for very little. What they do not realize, is that they are bidding on Homeowner Association and Condominium Association foreclosure liens. That is, that once they are the successful bidder and pay the fee to the county, the now own the property, often with a first mortgage and accompanying liens.
The Homeowner Association and Condominium Association foreclosure judgment and subsequent successful bid on the auction, does not wipe out first mortgages, second mortgages, or any liens on the property. It merely pays the association the maintenance and assessments the homeowners failed to pay. And the new Certificate of Title holder is left with a property that they can only rent temporarily until the mortgage company forecloses or obtains a judgment and places at auction as well..
HIRE AN ATTORNEY TO RUN A LIEN SEARCH PRIOR TO BIDDING
There are many things investors can do to protect themselves prior to bidding. First and foremost, hire an attorney to run a title search and examination and provide an Owners and Encumbrance letter. This typically costs between $150.00 to $200.00 and results in peace of mind. Knowing whether bidding is smart or not.
