2nd mtg lender allowed to sell house - is this normal?

This didnt happen to me but to someone i know — it seems like a very unorthodox situation but tell me if you have seen it it and share your feelings.

2nd mortgage - very small - under $50K with a major national bank. 1st mortgage - over $200 K is with a really sleazy lender. House was appraised over $400K

Lender #2 was allowed to conduct a foreclosure sale, with the stipulation that the buyer has to “take on” Mortgage 1.

A foreclosure sale was conducted in Spring 2019. The buyer won with a bid of $59,000 and this is the reported sale price with the county / city. The buyers are listed as the owners of record.

Fast forward to late 2019. Lender 1 (again with a horrific reputation) either is reneging on the deal or could not qualify the buyer / new owner

They are now suing in a foreclosure, husband and wife that bought the property and the previous owner. The foreclosure is stalled right now because Lender 1 cannot locate the previous owner.

The only thing i could think of is Lender 1 thinks why should we do a deal with the buyers and maybe make 3,000 in closing costs when we can make $200,000 in foreclosure sale

Any thoughts?

North Carolina – “One to Buy; Two to Sell”

I realize I will likely have to contact a real estate attorney but also hoping to hear insights and experiences from others! I have a house in NC that I bought by myself in 2009, and paid off, in full, in 2022. I got married in 2023. My spouse and I have not lived in the house as our "marital residence". We have maintained separate residences even after we got married. (That a separate topic!). I am now selling this house. Realtors have told us that my husband has to sign the deed at time of transfer but I am not convinced since the house has not been our marital residence. The realtors like to use the phrase "one to buy; two to sell", which seems like a broad-stroke statement which is not applicable under all circumstances. And of course, the realtors don’t realize the details of my specific circumstances: I purchased and paid for the house in full prior to marriage Only my name is on the deed And most importantly, we have never lived in the house as a marit...

Making offers on houses not listed for sale.

I want to buy a home for retirement. I am looking at lots of options, mostly focusing on the locations that appeal to me. I see lots of Zillow estimates of homes that look like great deals to me. Are these estimates accurate, even though similar houses in the same area that are for sale are usually priced much higher? If so, is it realistic for me to try to make offers to owners that do not have their homes listed? Would a realtor even consider helping me do this? Or, do these values indicate that the houses listed for sale are overpriced, and I should just lowball until someone accepts? Are houses today tending to sell far below list prices, or ??? submitted by /u/chewybrian [link] [comments] source https://www.reddit.com/r/RealEstate/comments/1o4mcon/making_offers_on_houses_not_listed_for_sale/
