Foreclosure may occur. This is the legal means that your Lender can use to repossess (take over) your home. When this happens, you must move out of your house. If your property is worth less than the total amount you owe on your Mortgage Loan, a Deficiency Judgment could be pursued. If that happens, you not only lose your home, you also would owe HUD an additional amount.

Both foreclosures and deficiency judgments could seriously affect your ability to qualify for Credit in the future. So you should avoid foreclosure if possible.
