Unlike some of the other people who have responded to this question, I am a practicing attorney and I actually have experience helping client with exactly this type of situation.\n\nThe exact procedures vary from state to state, so you should find a location attorney who handles eviction lawsuits.  You won't be able to call the police because this is a civil matter.  \n\nTypically you must give the person a notice to vacate, not unlike you might give to a renter at the end of a lease.  If they do not vacate, you need to file and eviction lawsuit. Eventually, you should be able to get a judgment for the possession of the property.  In most states, you would then get a writ of possession which then authorizes local law enforcement to remove the squatters from the property.

First what do you mean by foreclosure home. \n\n1. If the house is currently in foreclosure and has not been sold by the sheriff or trustee. Then you will need to buy the home directly from the debtor. They own the property till the sale date and/or redemption period. If debtor is not willing to sell their home you will need to bid on the house at the foreclosure sale. You will need to contact the law office that is handling the foreclosure for their sale terms and if money is due by the end of the day. Please understand the foreclosing law firm can only give out very limited info due to the fair debt act\n\n2. The foreclosure sale was completed and reverted back to the bank and the redemption perior expired (if there was one) The bank owns the property at this point. You will either need to contact their REO(Real Estate Owned) department and tell them you are interested in purchasing the home. Or wait till the bank has listed the property with a local realtor. \n\nMost of the homes sold by the bank are sold as is and it is wise to have the property inspected by a professional. \nIf you are financing the home some lenders may want to see the inspection report or have other requirements since it is a foreclosure home before they do the final approval. \n\nIf you are purchasing the home from the debtor prior to the sale, Time can be of the essence and the closing will need to be completed prior to the sale unless other agreements have been made by the Mortgage company foreclosuing on the home.\n\nthis is the basics however I'm sure there are some who have tricks on dealing with the banks.

I'm not real sure where you live, but when you put a house on the market they usually do a title search.  If they had done the search they would have realized there was a lien on the house and it would not be available to be sold.  I would try to get in contact directly with the buyer and explain your situation. I'm sure if they have any compassion they will understand you're circumstances and will work with you to find a way out of this.\n\nGood luck!!  And Good Luck in Iraq!!!  Thanks for all you do!!!!

You should contact the lender (the holder of the mortgage) for help.  They can advise.  They are the REAL owner of that house.\n\nYou have no reason to want to enter the house, so don't.  Force a sale of the house or have your ex-bf refinance and buy you out.

you may want to go to the courthouse to see the houses that are about to go into foreclosure. That way you might be able to negotiate with a motivated seller and get a good deal. All these things are public record so the courthouse might be the first place to look. There you could enquire how to look up these records.

Yes, \nIf you want the property, you have to comply with the conditions of owning it.\nNote, I am sure there is a provision of recapture, if you sell or move within the 5 years.\nMeaning you will have to pay a penalty fee of sorts, if you do not comply with the agreement.  There might even be a clause that allows the city to foreclose, if you don't comply, so make sure you understand the conditions of the contract.  \n\nUsually, a deal like this is worth the investment if you follow the provisions of the contract.  Cities don't want investors in such transactions, that is why they put a timeframe of ownership in the contract.

Go to the county office, the county secretary or clerk should be able to help you. They usually have a lot of properties left over after the tax auctions. I'm about to start purchasing some of these homes myself from different counties. I hope this helps you

Why in the world would you let it get to there? Go and see the lender, explain the situation to them and volunteer to sell the house and ask them to put payments on hold pending sale. Your credit rating won't be perfect, but it will be a lot better than defaulting!

You could talk to a real estate agent, but I advice you not to purchase a mobile home cause when you try to resale it. It will be very hard.

I am not sure I can be of much help, but....\n\nI think the key is why the title is not clear. If it is not clear because you and your spouse owned it and they passed away, then you can get the title cleared in probate court as long as they didn't have a will giving it to someone else. \n\nIf it is not clear because someone else before you didn't get a clear title and there is then some question of who might have a claim to it, then you need to get them to sign off on it. \n\nI bought a house once that took about six weeks for the title insurance company to locate everyone and get them to sign a paper saying they had no interest. It was part of the price of the title insurance. Obviously you didn't buy title insurance or all you have to do is call them and let them handle it. \n\nIn fact that would be a good place to start is to call a title company and ask them if they can help you. I am sure they will charge you a fee that is bigger than it would have been if you just bought it when you were closing. But it might just solve your problem.\n\nIf you are NOT planning on selling and no one is actually claiming it is theirs you will likely be ok. But if you ever do need to sell you had better have finished the process cause it can take a very long time. If a probate court is involved it can be as much as a year!\n\nI am not sure how different it is between a mobile home and a house so you probably want to find out for sure from a lawyer or title company.\n\nGood luck

No. It's gone. Whoever bought it owns it and is under no requirement to sell it back to you. The time to do something about this was before the foreclosure sale, preferably before things reached this point. Not only that, if the lender did not recoup the money owed in the foreclosure sale, they can still come after you to collect the rest of what they are owed. And your credit rating will reflect this disaster for many years to come. Sorry.\n\nPS If this had been a tax sale (your property was sold to pay off unpaid real estate taxes) you would have had a period afterwards in which you could still buy back your property. But a foreclosure sale is permanent.

Get another buyer,\nWhy must you sell to this particular person that dont show interest to your property?\nYou cant do anything if he doesnt show any interest in it.

The easiest thing to do would be to contact the mortgage holder and have them put you in the title of the property as a joint tenant with him.

With just a notice, you can still sell as it is still your home.  You will have to get at least the outstanding balance on the sale to cover the bank note + penalties you have accrued.  Many people choose to sell when in foreclosure as they can walk away with a little cash and sometimes allot of cash depending on the market.  There are also ways to get bailed out of the foreclosure if you want to keep the home.
