  1. In my opinion that a property foreclosures can have a major effect on the borrower’s life. Home foreclosures can have a 7 to decade negative effect on a borrower’s credit report. Any borrower who have applied for home financing or almost any loans for that matter, knows that the worse credit rating is definitely, the more hard it is to acquire a decent loan.
