The period called "Default" begins when the owner fails to make the first payment. This can be a crucial find since the owner is quite distraught about the situation. A this point, there has been no action from the financial institution and nothing will most likely happen until more payments have been missed.

After more payments have been missed, most financial institutions will send the "Notice of Default". At this point, the lean on the house has been "called in" and the owner will have 60 days to fix the situation or have their property repossessed.
