There are several advantages to a lender in accepting a deed in lieu of foreclosure. First, the lender becomes the owner of the property, allowing the lender to control its operation, take immediate steps to maximize its economic value, use and obtain all its income, and preserve valuable contracts and tenants.
Disadvantages of a Deed in Lieu of Foreclosure The most obvious disadvantage to you is the loss of your property, any income from the real estate, and your home investment. There are tax costs associated with the conveyance of property as well.
Once the deed in lieu of foreclosure process is complete, you will face a waiting period before you can buy a house again. Each lender and loan type works differently, but for mortgages backed by Fannie Mae, the period lasts two to four years. For FHA loans, the waiting period is three years.
The major disadvantage to lenders of accepting a deed in lieu of foreclosure is that they take on the real estate subject to all junior liens, making them responsible for potential debts associated with the property. This risk is increased with subprime or NINJA loans where borrower scrutiny may not be as rigorous.
(Without extenuating circumstances, the waiting period for a Fannie Mae loan is seven years after a foreclosure or four years after a deed in lieu.)
