Selling a Foreclosure Property with an Existing HELOC

Selling a Foreclosure Property with an Existing HELOC

What’s a HELOC?

A Home Equity Line of Credit is a second loan secured by your home’s value — often used for renovations or emergencies.

Why It Complicates Foreclosure

  • You have two liens to satisfy
  • If the first forecloses, the second becomes unsecured — but can still sue

Can You Still Sell? Yes.

Both loans must be paid off, but we help negotiate reduced payoff amounts and coordinate fast closings.
