Most Texas mortgages are foreclosed non-judicially, which means no court case and no judge — the process runs on notices and deadlines set out in your deed of trust. You typically receive a notice of default giving you a period to bring the loan current, and then a notice of sale at least 21 days before the auction. Foreclosure sales are held on the first Tuesday of the month at the county courthouse. From falling behind to losing the house can take far less time than in most states.
A traditional sale takes 30 to 60 days at best once a buyer is found, and that is before their lender has finished underwriting. Listing usually cannot outrun a sale date that has already been posted.
If the loan balance, arrears and fees are close to what the house is worth, a retail sale with a six percent commission can leave nothing at all — and you cannot pay a commission out of money that is not there.
When money has been tight, maintenance is usually the first thing to go. A house with real repair needs will not pass a buyer's lender inspection, which rules out most retail buyers exactly when speed matters most.
Servicers are difficult to reach, the paperwork is dense, and the mailbox fills with investor letters written to frighten you. Very little of what arrives is written to help you understand the choices in front of you.
Once a filing becomes public the mailbox fills with investors, most of them writing to frighten you. The loudest offer is rarely the best one, and the noise makes it harder to work out what your actual options are.
These are homes we bought from owners who were behind on payments, several with a sale date already set. Photographed in the condition we bought them.
Every property featured is a real home we’ve helped close and fund. Before any property or story is published on our website, we obtain the seller’s permission—nothing is shared without their consent. If you ever want to update or remove your story in the future, simply call us at (346) 360-4444, and we’ll take care of it promptly.
A foreclosure already in motion on a house that also had foundation movement, which ruled out any buyer needing a mortgage. The owner assumed the clock had run out. We bought it as it stood and closed in 9 days.
The owner was running out of time with almost no equity left once arrears and fees were counted. A traditional sale with a commission attached would have left nothing. We worked the numbers directly with the lender and closed in 17 days.
Falling behind and deferred maintenance usually arrive together, and each one makes the other harder to solve. This owner had both. Condition made no difference to us and we closed in 13 days.
