How long does it take to close on a foreclosed home?

By
Real Estate Agent with Keller Williams Realty Boston North West
When purchasing a foreclosure you may have a later closing date than you expected. In many states the foreclosure deed may have not been recorded and it could take 45-60 days to close.
Be flexible with your timeframe. Even if the bank has given you a closing date, they still usually have 30 days additional to fix a title issue.

45-60 or until the lender feels like it.  You are very right about being flexible.

Tenant laws vary from state to state. Usually when a property is foreclosed on, the listing agent will offer tenants cash for keys to vacate quickly.  I would recommend you find out your rights by going to http://www.hud.gov/ and looking at your states rules.

Is there any way to find out before making an offer - if the title has been cleared to resell the home.
