The Department of Housing and Urban Development (HUD), Federal Housing Administration (FHA) and other Government Sponsored Enterprises like Freddie Mac and Fannie Mae are extending financial assistance by way of mortgage loans for home buyers in the U.S. real estate market. Banks and other mortgage lending institutions also engage themselves in prime lending and sub-prime lending activities in financing home buying.
The borrowers enter into an agreement, a mortgage deed which is involving all legal proceedings through a court of law or a deed of trust for easy handling of transactions in accordance with the customs and usages prevalent in the respective region of the U.S. nation. Normally these mortgage loans are repayable in long term starting from 10 years to 30 years and are coming up with different models, terms and conditions like fixed rates of interest, adjustable rates of interest to be added to repayment installments, interest only to be paid for some initial years and so on.
As agreed upon between the lender and borrower, the repayment of the loan is made through monthly remittance of installments of a pre-fixed sum, representing the principal and interest, regularly. In case of default or stoppage of these monthly installments for any reason, consecutively for at least 3 months, the lender initiates action of foreclosing the loan after due notice of default to the borrower. On failing to make good the arrears of loan installments within the stipulated time, the lender gets legal sanction for disposal of the property on sale by public auction and the highest bidder gets possession of the said property. In the event of the property not sold on the date of auction for lack of bidders, then the lender gets repossession of the property.
