Knowing What Arizona Trustee Sales And Foreclosures Are

By Deborah G. Hughey


Looking at Arizona Trustee Sales

For people seeking great Arizona properties at bargain prices, a trustee sale may be the way to go. When homes or other kinds of property go into foreclosure, and home owners unfortunately are unable to produce the required funds to stop the procedure, a trustee may take charge of the house on behalf of the mortgage holder. Numerous lenders pick an attorney to function as their official adviser as trustee. The trustee is then responsible for searching for a new purchaser for the foreclosed house, somebody who is willing to pay for the privilege of taking new property ownership that the former proprietor was unable to pay for.

Trustee sales, found in Arizona just as other states, are performed by auction. While the basic principle of 'top bidder wins' is often observed, trustees will set up minimum bid requirements to be sure that the home and property is sold for an affordable value. Notice of upcoming foreclosure sales, with scheduled dates, times, as well as public auction areas, as well as the address and description of the house to be sold, will be made publicly known no less than 90 days before the auction date. This date and time is at the discretion of the lender or beneficiary.

When purchasing a property at auction - it's the 1st Deed of Trust you are planning to purchase. You need to be sure that the Deed of Trust (DOT) is within 1st Title Position and never a second Deed of Trust or third Deed of Trust. There are times that it is practical to buy a second Deed of Trust when the value of the 1st DOT and acquisition value of the 2nd DOT are below the Fair Market Price. This is an unusual occasion but does occur from time to time. While checking the Title there are some other things which also need reviewed which may pass thru to the successful public auction bidder. Most essentially are Property Taxes which may be in the arrears and any City Liens. City Liens can be put on a property for many reasons but mostly pertain to Vacant Properties that have been vandalized where windows have been broken, grafitti is present, weeds-trash and debris are apparent, and swimming pools have green/stagnant water. Several of the Title Platforms don't display this activity and can be important. During our due dilegence on properties, we have found City Liens from as little as $200 up to $35,000. The pros at AZ Foreclosure Bid Service LLC work diligently with title professionals to screen prospective properties which clients may be interested in acquiring.

Wish to Try and Do-It All by Yourself?

The typical means of searching for appropriate properties to bid on at trustee sales entails a lot of work. First, a visit to the county recorder's office will be essential in order to research all the available properties in the area which may be of interest. Next, potential purchasers will want to drive out and check out these properties themselves, to make sure that what is discussed in the trustee sales ads is accurate and that the house is actually in acceptable condition. Going to the local courthouse on the day of the auction to bid is the last step, but of course it isn't acceptable to come empty handed. Any person hoping to buy property at a trustee sale should have a cashier's check of $10,000 made out to the appropriate trustee. When a final bid has been accepted, the buyer should be ready to pay full price by 5pm the following working day, or else the auctioneer can put the property or home back up for public auction and you risk giving up your $10,000 and being sued for the remainder amount of bid.

Need to Do it Properly?

Obviously, the aforementioned technique to buy Phoenix Foreclosures and other properties requires a significant investment of time and energy - most of it spent out and about in the sometimes scorching Arizona sun. Although the do-it-yourself approach can be a legitimate and efficient way to get a great house or other kind of property, the whole thing can also be performed online, with the help of a pro bidding service that will manage all of the details for a flat rate. At the time of the sale, people using such a service can follow the activity live from anywhere in the world, and make their offers in real time as the public auction continues. Foreclosure houses slated for trustee sales are detailed on the internet by these trustee services, so any research that should be performed by the buyer prior to settling on a property to buy can be done by the professionals at AZ Foreclosure Bid Service LLC for you.
