First of all, you need to be aware that a mortgage lender can
foreclose your home for two reasons. The first one is defaulting on
your payments. Generally, lenders will issue a Notice of Default if
you miss three mortgage payments consecutively. Another possible
ground for foreclosure would be a violation on a major regulation or
policy of the lender.

What You Can Do
However, in most cases, the reason for a home foreclosure is due to a
default in payments. For some home owners, they waited too long before
taking any appropriate action that would have prevented foreclosure of
their property. If you currently have a mortgage loan, it is important
to be constantly aware of your payments. If for some reason, you miss
one of your payments, speak with your lender right away and inform
them the cause of your delay. Don’t wait until the second or third
delay on your payment or for a Notice of Default before taking the
initiative to contact your lender.
