A recent study estimates that 47% of foreclosed properties are still occupied.<\/h3>\n\n\n\n

When you first see that stat you may be surprised… but we’re not.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

What most people don’t realize is that banks aren’t in the business to own homes<\/strong>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

They are in the business to loan people money. But when they have to foreclose on a house… the bank is forced to own the home until they’re able to sell it to get all or most of their money back.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

But, what they had found is that when a Greenville foreclosed house goes vacant… there is a much greater chance that the house will fall into disrepair. \u00a0Often times the bank would rather have you in the property even after you stop paying your payments and the foreclosure is started because it wards of vandals and keeps the house in good working order.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

There\u2019s been a lot of talk in the media about people living for free after foreclosure \u2013 and even many stories about banks \u201cabandoning\u201d properties.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

In those stories, people are avoiding house payments for months, even years.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Man, that sounds great! Let\u2019s all live for free. (wink)<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Wait\u2026 it can\u2019t be that simple, right?<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Right.<\/h3>\n\n\n\n

No bank would purposely neglect to collect payments. The only way that you get to live without making any payments is when some major mistakes were made.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

But you might get lucky! It\u2019s possible, and it\u2019s happened before. However, it\u2019s not exactly legal to avoid payments that you owe, and it can get you in serious trouble.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

So why are so many foreclosed homes occupied? It\u2019s important to remember that no one wants the house to be vacant. Vacant homes are targets for vandalism and crime.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Staying in the property can help the bank maintain the value of their investment, so it\u2019s actually in their best interests to keep it occupied. Partly because of the ways that the foreclosure laws are structured in NC, banks may ask you to leave while wanting you to stay.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

There are a few perfectly legal ways to remain in your home, even after foreclosure.<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

How To Stay In My Home After Foreclosure In Greenville<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

Not all these options are available (depending on your situation and your lenders), and you\u2019ll need some expert advice along the way to help you get through.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

1) Wait it out.<\/strong> Honestly, this is a pretty bad option, but it seems to be increasingly common. You definitely shouldn\u2019t run away and abandon your house when the first notice of default shows up. Remember that the proceedings and the process takes months and sometimes years. It\u2019s not over until it\u2019s over, so don\u2019t give up too early. On the other hand, don\u2019t wait until the sheriff shows up to evict you to start packing up your stuff.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

2) Go to court.<\/strong> In very rare cases, judges are granting stays and delaying evictions. This is really only a valid option if you (and your attorneys) can prove that the bank has neglected a legal requirement during the foreclosure process. During the past few years, a lot of fraudulent behavior at banks has been uncovered \u2013 so we may see an increasing trend of using the courts to stop foreclosure. Fighting banks with lawyers is very difficult, expensive and time-consuming, even if you\u2019ve got a perfect case (most people don\u2019t stand a chance).<\/p>\n\n\n\n

3) Propose a move-out bonus.<\/strong> Often buyers of occupied foreclosure properties spend thousands of dollars on lawyers and other costs of eviction, so why not save everyone the time and expense by taking some of that money yourself? It\u2019s known as \u201ccash for keys\u201d. It sounds a little greedy, but greasing the wheels does help everything to run smooth. Plus, you can help out the bank and the buyers by not abandoning the house to squatters before they\u2019re ready to take possession.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

4) Rent it back.<\/strong> It may sound crazy, but some banks are willing to take on previous homeowners as tenants in their property. That\u2019s only a short-term fix, as they\u2019ll want your agreement to vacate the premises as soon as they find someone to purchase the property. In some cases, we can even purchase the property and rent it back to you.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
