Can a lender foreclose on a property with a mortgage lien?

Yes, a lender in Arizona can foreclose on a property with a mortgage lien. This is because mortgages serve as a form of security for a loan. If a borrower defaults on the loan, the lender can foreclose on the property and reclaim the collateral. In Arizona, the foreclosure process is a judicial process, meaning that a court must approve the foreclosure. First, the lender must file a complaint in court and serve the borrower with notice of the legal action. The court will then set a hearing date to decide the outcome. The borrower must respond to the complaint and appear in court on the hearing date. At the hearing, the court will decide if the foreclosure is valid. The court will then enter a judgment in favor of the lender and the foreclosure process will begin. If the foreclosure is valid, the lender will be able to take possession of the property and sell it to recover the loan amount. The borrower will not be able to get their property back, and will still be responsible for any outstanding balance that is not covered by the sale. The proceeds from the sale of the property will first go to paying off any existing liens, then to the lender, and any remaining to the borrower.
