House in Foreclosure? | Washington Foreclosure Help

TYPES OF FORECLOSURE:

REVERSE MORTGAGE

A reverse mortgage may enter foreclosure under the following circumstances:

• The homeowner no longer occupies the property as their primary residence
• Property taxes have fallen behind or remain unpaid
• The home is not being properly maintained
• Homeowner has passed away

PROPERTY TAX

A property may enter foreclosure if property taxes remain unpaid for an extended period of time.

TRADITIONAL MORTGAGE

A property can go into foreclosure when the homeowner fails to make mortgage payments for 90 days or longer.

HOA

A homeowners association may initiate foreclosure if the owner falls behind on required payments, including monthly dues, special assessments, or fines.
