Does anyone out there know about the legally required time a lender has to complete forclosure processes after an NOD has been sent? Or is there any time limit? It seems like NOD’s are comming in big numbers, but REO’s are seriously lagging. I’ve heard rumors that lenders are letting mortgage’s go more than a year in arrears in order to avoid putting the property on to their books. Is there any GAAP rules here? Or can a lender have a non-performing loan on the books indefinately?
