Your choices in stopping an Arizona foreclosure are many. However, you will need the cooperation and understanding of your mortgage lender.

The default period of the mortgage can begin as early as one day late. This is also called the delinquent period. Most Arizona home owners have a trust deed. For this reason there is no reason for the lender to go to court. But they will need to get a trustee appointed.

Of course, if the lender wants to work with the home owner to assist in the delay of the foreclosure or to actually help stop it, there are a few options that the home owner can choose from to fix the matter.

Installment payments of the delinquent amount would be the first choice for the home owner. The lender may allow you to do this over a six month period or longer, but probably not over more than twelve months.

The second option is a loan modification. That is the re-amortizing of the remaining amount of the mortgage loan, or the balance.

Then there is a type of refinancing, wherein the defaulted amount is wrapped into the refinanced amount. You may also be able to get a second mortgage or a line of credit. The home owner, of course, does always have the option of selling the house to pay off the debt.

Then there is the deed in lieu of foreclosure. It is a last resort, and it releases the property owner of all responsibilities of the mortgage, because the deed is simply handed back to the mortgage company. If there is a lien against the property, however, or there is a second mortgage on it, this option is off the table.

A foreclosure can happen quickly, if the lender does not wish to work with the home owner. And the mortgage company will legally obtain the ownership of the house. The home owner will no longer have any rights to the home in question, and he will be evicted.

The default period can be as little as one day or as long as one hundred and twenty days. Each circumstance is different. When a Notice of Sale is filed, it will include the date and time of the sale. This set time is filed with a Recorders Office. The sale will take place after a minimum of ninety days.

Then the property owner is offered as a last resort a reinstatement loan. This would be to bring the loan up to date and current and to actually stop the foreclosure proceeding. If this takes place, the home owner will need to pay all late fees and the lenders fees, along with the outstanding mortgage payments. Sometimes a payment plan may be worked out. This is called a forbearance agreement. This can be determined within one day.

When none of the above is possible, the Arizona foreclosure takes place. It is called a Trustee Sale, and is sold to the highest bidder. This bidder can even be the mortgage lender. At this time the proceeds pay off the debt, and the home owner has lost the house.
