In addition to the resouces provided above make homeowners need to be aware of common misconceptions about Las Vegas foreclosure. Simply put, here is what foreclosure is not:
Foreclosure is not "the bank wanting to take back the property."
Banks deal in paper, not bricks and mortar. Many do not even have a "Real Estate Owned" (REO) Department. They do not want the property, all they want is the money owed them. Banks do not own Las Vegas residential real estate unless it serves to protect their interest.
Foreclosure is not "bank owned property."
If a bank owns the property, the foreclosure is already complete and you have probably missed your opportunity. Bank owned property is merely the fallout of foreclosure proceedings not working the way the bank had hoped. Remember, all the bank wants is their money. If an investor can get the deal before the auction, everyone is happy. The bank gets its money and you get the property.
Foreclosure is not "a judicial proceeding."
Foreclosure in Las Vegas, Nevada is known as a "non-judicial proceeding". The only time the case will go before a judge is when the homeowner is in bankruptcy or if the homeowner contests the proceeding, usually once the foreclosure proceeding is complete. Next to that everything is done outside of court.
