Refinance loan in foreclosure?

Question

hi,

i'm new here.  Is anyone able to refinance a loan that is current but in refinance status?  how would that work?  Any help is appreciated.  This is in Texas.

Thanks,

First and foremost, seems odd that an existing lender would desire to foreclose if payments are current.  Although the loan has matured, unless you didn't complete the renovation, or if there is some other missing piece of information, most lenders are wide open when it comes to extension, FYI there is likely a fee for such extension.  An incoming lender may opt for a verification of mortgage (VOM) which may include a payment history and this could potentially be a red-flag to an incoming refinance lender (If you had sporadic or prior delinquency).  That said, while I can't speak for a conventional or government lender, at the end of the day, if you've got a good property and you've got equity, most hard money or private money lenders would love the opportunity to refinance for you.

@Saman Pari I am in Texas also you can refinance from private lender to another Non QM or a QM loan such as FHA.  Want me to review your situation?

My apologies.  I wasn’t clear in what i asked:

I have an investment property, had a hard money short term loan  that has matured - it’s current in payment but they are wanting to foreclose on it as I was delinquent for some time. Can this be refinanced with this status even though the property is current on payment?

Who can do this? FHA? Private lender?

Hi Saman,

I may be able to answer your question with a little bit more info. is the mortgage in the process of foreclosure?

Hey Saman,

I am not quite understanding by what you mean in "refinance status". Is this property your primary residence or investment property? By the title name it looks like you are looking to refinance a property that is in foreclosure?
