A VA loan foreclosure occurs when a borrower defaults on their VA loan and the lender takes possession of the property to recover the debt owed. This can happen for a variety of reasons, including job loss, medical expenses, or other financial hardships.
While VA loans have some unique features, the foreclosure process is similar to that of any other type of mortgage.
If you default on your loan, the lender will typically initiate the foreclosure process by filing a notice of default with the court.
You will then have a certain amount of time to cure the default by bringing the loan current or working out a repayment plan with the lender.
If you are unable to cure the default, the lender will eventually foreclose on the property and sell it at auction.
The proceeds from the sale will be used to pay off the outstanding debt, and any remaining funds will be returned to the borrower.
