FAQ
Ketchum behind on payments questions.
- How many payments can I miss before foreclosure starts in Idaho?
- Most lenders start foreclosure proceedings after 90–120 days of missed payments. Selling before the foreclosure files saves your credit and any remaining equity.
- Will the lender accept a payoff from a cash sale?
- Yes — lenders almost always prefer a full payoff at closing over the cost and time of foreclosure. Title company orders the payoff letter and wires the funds directly.
- What if I owe more than the house is worth?
- Short sale territory. We can sometimes negotiate with your lender to accept less than the full payoff in exchange for releasing the lien. Takes 30–90 days but beats a foreclosure.
- Will my credit recover faster from a sale than a foreclosure?
- Significantly. A short sale or pre-foreclosure sale typically drops credit 50–150 points and recovers in 2–3 years. A completed foreclosure typically drops FICO ~100–160 points and stays on your credit for 7 years.
- How fast can we close on my Ketchum, Idaho house?
- 12–14 days when there's clear title and you accept a full-payoff cash offer.
