Foreclosures can be of many types such as government foreclosures, HUD foreclosures, VA foreclosures and bank foreclosures. The process of foreclosures include repossessing the property of the borrower by the lenders so as to recover due debts. The process of foreclosures take place when the borrower fails in making payment of the mortgage loan and so it becomes the legitimate right of the lender to repossess the collateral as a monetary substitute to meet unpaid debts of the borrower. Lenders send a payment default notice to the borrower so as to alert the borrower. Lenders give priority period to the borrower so as to make them meet payment default but after the reimbursement period, lenders start the foreclosure proceeding by announcing the date, time and venue of the auction of the foreclosed home in local newspapers.

Foreclosures are generally of two types- judicial foreclosures and non-judicial foreclosures. In judicial foreclosures, lenders file a legal petition in the county court of law so as to seek judicial permission and involvement in the foreclosure process. The court decides the starting bid of the foreclosed property after having an extensive analysis of the selling price which the foreclosed house deserves. In non-judicial foreclosures, lenders independently carry out the foreclosure process and its auction proceedings without legal involvement. In both type of auction of the foreclosed property, the winner bidder is given ownership of the foreclosed home. One can get details of the auction type of the foreclosed property in the power of sale clause of mortgage bond.
