HUD News Regarding Foreclosure

San Jose bankruptcy attorney discusses changes with HUD's definition of Foreclosure

HUD, the Federal Agency announced last Friday that they have tweaked their definition of floreclusre and the redlined version includes "properties in default and abandoned to include uninhabitable homes with lingering code violations."

Starting now, HUD is classifying a floreclosure as "any property that is at least 60 days behind on the mortgage or the property owner is 90 days or more delinquent on tax payments."

Additionally, they have extended the description of abandoned property to include homes where no mortgage or tax payments have been made by the property owner for at least 90 days or a code enforcement inspection has determined that the property is not habitable and the owner has taken no corrective actions within 90 days of notification of the deficiencies.

The new language will assist communities with the foreclosure process including aquisition, rehabilitation, and resale, said HUD officials, as well as expodite those practices.
