When a homeowner defaults on their mortgage and goes into foreclosure, the result is that the house will end up at a foreclosure auction. If nobody buys the house at the foreclosure auction, then the house goes back to the bank that originated the mortgage loans. Once the property is returned to the bank, there will be a well-known for the REO Real Estate is Owned () from the bank.
