The Minnesota foreclosure defense attorneys at Neff Law Firm, P.A., understand that a foreclosure is a serious legal event that carries with it the potential for not only the loss of a home but additional future ramifications as well to the homeowner. Some of the ramifications of foreclosure that are often ignored by homeowners are as follows:
- Homeowners who simply let the foreclosure go through run the risk of a deficiency judgment. When faced with foreclosure homeowners often get advice from well-meaning friends or relatives to just accept foreclosure and stay in the house as long as they can. This advice may end up making the situation far worse for a consumer. One of the serious ramifications is the risk of a deficiency judgment in the event that the home is sold for less than the debt is owed on.
- Assuming that a short sale is automatically the best for everyone facing foreclosure. While some people have argued that a short sale of the home is the right cure for the risk of foreclosure this may not be necessarily always the case. People that are interested in pursuing a short sale should make sure they know all their legal rights and the risks faced upon doing a short sale. Anyone considering using a short sale should make sure at minimum that they have the help of experienced professionals such as a foreclosure prevention attorney who have properly assess their legal situation and make a determination based on the facts as to doing a short sale. Each situation should be assessed as to whether it is advantageous for the homeowners to pursue a short sale under the circumstances. For this reason consumers considering doing a short sale should get legal help from an experienced Minnesota lawyer before making any decision on how to handle short sale and foreclosure in general. There should also be proper legal guidance through each step taken by the consumer in dealing with giving up homeownership. Consumers should make sure to get an evaluation of the tax ramifications when dealing with this type of situation. This means that the help of a tax lawyer or certified public accountant may be very beneficial. There is no easy answer to dealing with giving up the ownership of the house, so consumers should be diligent and thorough in addressing this type of matter.
An important consideration for any homeowner dealing with foreclosure is how long it may take to be able to obtain another mortgage on a home. Homeowners should keep in mind that various agencies might have different standards for granting mortgages to people who have lost their home through foreclosure. Consumers should gather together all necessary information to assess how and when in the future they may be able to obtain a mortgage after the foreclosure or a short sale. Again the assistance of a Minnesota lawyer can be of help to a consumer in evaluating the situation. Giving up a home either in a foreclosure or short sale may present problems for consumers in the future in obtaining financing to buy a home so there should be a serious assessment of the situation by the consumer when facing doing either of these acts.
