Which liens survive foreclosure?

Josh D.

Posted

I'm looking to bid on some properties at the foreclosure auction (Florida). Someone told me if a junior lien holder is not named as a defendant in the foreclosure final judgment then their lien could survive the sale and I could potentially buy a property that still has a 2nd mortgage attached to it.

Does anyone know if this is true?

Thanks in advance!

Most auctions are overrated. You would do much better associating with power REO brokers and making low offers on properties with clean titles already that you can close quick.
