What Happens Now
The Homeowner could …
Arrange through our office to pay in full, all delinquent assessments, late charges, interest and fees, to resolve their delinquency and bring them back into good standing with the Association.
Contact our office to arrange a contracted payment plan (Good Faith Agreement) to bring their account current over the next several months.
File for Bankruptcy, at which time we will then file the “Proof of Claim” for the Association and monitor the case at no charge to the Association. Should the Homeowner fail to keep current on their post- petition payments during bankruptcy proceedings, our attorneys will file the appropriate motions with the court to insure payments.
Allow the First Mortgage to Foreclose, at which time we will demand from the lender the 9 month Superpriority Lien (NRS 116.3116) amounts on behalf of the Association, OR, make a claim against any excess funds.
Example:
The Bank’s Foreclosure sale occurs on September 21, 2011, and the bank gets it back or an Investor buys it just slightly over opening bid (amount owed to bank).
The Association can collect balances owed going back to March 1, 2011, and may have to write off the unpaid portion owed to bad debt.
If the property is sold for more than what is owed to the bank, the extra money is called “Excess Proceeds” and HOA Collections will make a demand against those monies for everything that is owed.
The Homeowner could choose to ignore all proceedings, and the Association’s foreclosure would proceed.
What It Costs
FIRST 30 DAYS
Average cost to Homeowner of Notice of Lien through Redemption: $306.00 plus postage
30 – 90 DAYS
Average cost to Homeowner of Notice of Default through Redemption: $701.00 plus postage
90 – 110 DAYS
Average cost to Homeowner of Notice of Sale through Redemption: $1126.00+ plus postage and publication costs
120 DAYS
Average cost to Homeowner to Redeem on Day of Sale: $1288.00+ plus postage and publication costs
NOTE: Association advances fees to Trustee at time of publication so fees can be included in opening bid at sale. This allows the Association to effect a no cost recovery if foreclosure sale is warranted.
