I wish I could totally understand what reason(s) a servicer or lender would have for not foreclosing on abandon homes. These homes hurt the value of all surrounding homeowners. What is the benefit of not getting any payments, paying the taxes and insurance and do nothing?
These abandon properties are not about getting folks out of their homes. It’s all about getting the foreclosures done and getting the properties sold.
Every state should fast track foreclosures, so that the neighborhoods can stabilize values and get these homes filled with new homeowners.
