well if it ever actually happens like that, this is how it really happens,
they put 100,000 dollars down, and have a loan for 400,000.
They foreclose, and have 5000 in legal fees, late fees, foreclosure costs, and cost of the sell, so you have another 20 to 30 K added to the cost of the loan.
The house is stold at auction, normally the mortgage company bids their loan price as the starting bid, seldon is there ever another bid,
Of if they sell it, it will sell for 300,000 or maybe max of 400,000, it will never bring anywhere near apprasied value at a foreclosure sale.
so there is almost always a amount owed that is not even paid off at the sale.
So as noted the bank with the loan normally ends up owning the property now form the foreclosure aucton sale, and now they go and sell it for the 450,000 and all the extra money is their profit and they keep it.
