In 2012, the Political Correct term for Home Foreclosures are "Transfer Due to Loan Default". This is a veiled way of stating the Mortgage Company or Government Insurance Company (HUD, Fannie Mae, Freddie Mac, VA, etc. . . ) obtained the home through the foreclosure process. The Carolina MLS (Charlotte MLS) verbiage for foreclosures of Bank owned homes are typically noted as "Transfer Due to Loan Default". Some lenders want a deeper veil and claim "undisclosed" under special conditions.
There is a lot to understand about the foreclosure process. Home buyers want to minimize their risk and want foreclosure homes that are already Charlotte bank owned homes. Charlotte NC Bank owned homes "can be" a great value!
As previously shared there are several Government Foreclosures. The HUD Foreclosure is the most popular. Charlotte HUD foreclosures are homes already owned by the Federal Government. Only a HUD approved Broker can bid on these homes (I am a North Carolina HUD approved Broker). Their is a lot of information for the purchase of HUD Homes and we can go further into the process at a later time. There are also USDA Foreclosures, Fannie Mae Foreclosures and several more. Each has its own process and I am familiar with the variations.

How do I purchase Charlotte Foreclosures?
First step: All foreclosures that are already "owned by the banks, finance companies or mortgage companies" are listed in the MLS. Do not pay for a website to view foreclosures! When a bank owns the property, the bank/lender obtains a clean title (no liens or risk) and markets the foreclosed property with a Charlotte Realtor.
Are looking for Charlotte Real Estate pre-foreclosures or Short Sales? Short Sales are an entirely different process and you need to be patient. If the short sale is your "dream home", then by all means let's put in an offer. If not, the odds are you will find a more appealing deal well before the Short Sale is accepted or denied. Expect to wait at least four months before the bank responds to your offer. We can discuss this more in person.

Looking for Charlotte North Carolina Foreclosures? How about Foreclosures as an investment in Charlotte? I am experienced in Charlotte North Carolina properties and both North and South Carolina. I have purchased homes in a variety of foreclosure auctions and enjoy helping. No, I will not promise a get rich scheme. I will explain what the investor classes neglect to share. There are several types of Real Estate auctions and each with varying risks. The easiest auction is when the property is "free and clear". These auctions are conducted by banks and the bank has already assumed the bulk of the risk. Yes, less risk for you but the profit margin is assumed by the risk taker. I will try to keep this overview easy to read and understand. First you need to understand and appreciate the banks position. The bank is not in the Charlotte NC housing business. The bank is in the money business. When a bank owns a home, it shows that the bank made a 'poor decision' in its 'money business'. The bank wants to get rid of the property and have this dept off of its books. BUT, who owns the majority of the homes in your neighborhood? The banks (at least indirectly with all homes that have a mortgage). What would happen if the bank dumps the property for half of its value? Then the bank has basically devalued all of its other Charlotte homes (otherwise known as vested interests) in the same Charlotte neighborhood. Now the neighbor tries to sell his home. The home does not bring the same premium price now because the bank dumped a home in his market. Now the person owes more on his home than it is worth; more foreclosures!
As you see, if a bank 'dumps' a home it actually hurts the banking industry and the whole neighborhood. For this reason, the bank will do what ever is necessary to get as much as humanly possible for their homes.
