What Happens When You Fall Behind on Mortgage Payments?

In Arizona, lenders can start the foreclosure process after just a few missed payments. The timeline is aggressive:

  • Day 1: Payment missed.
  • Day 90: Lender can issue a Notice of Default.
  • Day 120+: Foreclosure sale can be scheduled.

Arizona follows a non-judicial foreclosure process, which means lenders don't need court approval to take action. The process is fast, and once it starts, options get more limited.

When I inherited the house from my uncle and wanted to sell, I was confused and didn't know what to expect, but Kevin made the whole process quick and painless. He was straight-up and easy to work with. I never felt pushed, and I walked away feeling good about the deal.

"Genuinely recommend."

Purple Stars

This was nothing like dealing with agents. I've had previous not so good experiences selling with agents so I was skeptical. Imagine my shock when I found out there were no open houses, and no need for repairs. Just an offer and a quick close. I genuinely recommend Your Caring Home Buyer to anyone.

Selling Before Foreclosure: Why Speed Matters

The best time to act is before the foreclosure notice is officially recorded. That's when you still have control over how things play out. Selling the house before this point allows you to:

  • Pay off the remaining loan balance
  • Avoid credit damage from foreclosure
  • Walk away with equity (if any remains)

And you don't need to fix the house up, list it, or wait for an agent.

  • Cash offers within 24 hours
  • Closings in as little as 7 days
