[WSBARP] Condo Foreclosure Basics

[Jim Doran]

Here's the simplest way to ask it:  If Bank of America does not redeem the
property by paying my client, the new purchaser, does Bank of America retain
its right to foreclose on the property and NOT pay my client what she paid
today, plus interest?

 

Or, this way does my client have to pay the underlying DOT & Note with Bank
of America?

BoA will have the right to redeem by paying to your client what they paid
plus some interest etc.  It's in the statute but I am on mobile at the
moment.  It's possible that they won't of course but I would advise your
client not to get too excited just yet.

I have client that just bought a condo at a Sherriff's sale for $15,000
which were the dues owed by the owner.  The underlying debt is with Bank of
America for $120,000 but the property has a value of $70,000.  B of A did
not show up at the sale.  

 

What happens?  Client gets the property subject to the Bank of America deed
of trust, right?  

 

So, the deadbeat prior owner won't pay, that's for sure.  My client doesn't
want to pay $120,000 to B of A.  So I expect there will be a foreclosure by
bank of America on the new owner.

 

What is the function of the "Redemption Rights" in the Bank?  Does the Bank
have to buy the place back from my client for what she paid at the sale?  

 

A quick overview of how this works would be appreciated.  Just the
framework.

 

Thanks,
