Question: We recently got a loan modification on the mortgage on our primary residence with very attractive terms. We have two HOA's and we communicated to them that we would catch up on our dues when the loan modification became permanent. One of the HOA's put us in collection. What will happen if we stop paying anything to the HOA? Will they foreclose and get someone to pay the bank the amount due on the note. What risks do we take if we don't pay one of the HOA's? Can the HOA foreclose and ignore the bank and the money owed to the bank? Who pays the money to the bank?
Response: You are better off not messing with the HOA. HOA can put your home/condo for sale, recover its fees, pay the rest to the bank. Oftentimes, the bank will itself pay the amount due to avoid any type of lien sale and then charge you for it. HOA fees are not even extinguished when you file for bankruptcy. So, they will not be extinguished in foreclosure. If you want to save your property, you should make an arrangement with HOA to catch up on arrears.
