What is a
Foreclosure Bailout Loan?
A foreclosure bailout loan is short-term, asset-based financing that pays off a mortgage in default, in pre-foreclosure, or scheduled for a foreclosure sale. The new loan covers the full payoff to the foreclosing lender, including principal, arrears, default interest, late fees, and legal costs. That stops the foreclosure and returns control of the property to you.
Banks won't lend to a borrower in active default. We underwrite the property itself: its current value, the available equity, and a realistic exit. Most borrowers refinance into a long-term DSCR loan once the credit event seasons, or sell at full market value instead of at auction.
💡 Business-Purpose Loans for Investment Property
Every foreclosure bailout loan we originate is a business-purpose loan on non-owner-occupied investment property. No tax returns, no W-2s, no debt-to-income analysis. We do not offer this program on primary residences. If you live in the property, contact a HUD-approved housing counselor at 800-569-4287.

Foreclosure Bailout Frequently Asked Questions
Can you stop a foreclosure sale that is already scheduled?
In many cases, yes. If we can get a payoff and clear title before the sale date, the loan pays off the foreclosing lender and the sale is cancelled. The earlier you call, the more options you have. Files with less than 7 days to auction are reviewed case by case.
Do I need good credit to get a foreclosure bailout loan?
No. Bailout loans are underwritten on property value, equity, and your exit strategy. Recent late payments, a pending foreclosure, and prior credit events are expected in this program.
How much equity do I need?
We lend up to 65% of the as-is value, so the full payoff plus closing costs generally needs to fit inside that limit. If it doesn't, you can bring the difference to closing.
Do you offer foreclosure bailout loans on primary residences?
No. This program is for non-owner-occupied investment property held for business purposes only. Homeowners facing foreclosure on their residence should contact a HUD-approved housing counselor at 800-569-4287.
What documents do I need?
A copy of the notice of default or foreclosure filing, a current payoff or reinstatement statement, property details and photos, leases if the property is tenanted, entity documents, and your exit plan. No tax returns or W-2s.
What is the typical exit strategy?
Most borrowers refinance into a long-term DSCR or commercial loan once the credit event has seasoned and the property is stabilized. Others sell at market value on their own timeline and keep the equity that would have been lost at auction.
How fast can you close?
Clean files with clear title can close in as little as 7–10 days. Title complexity, junior liens, and how quickly the foreclosing lender returns a payoff are the biggest variables.
Can the loan cover back taxes and legal fees?
Yes. Delinquent property taxes, default interest, late charges, and the foreclosing lender's attorney fees can be included in the payoff, subject to the LTV limit.
