Frequently Asked Questions
How does Idaho's non-judicial foreclosure work?
Idaho uses deeds of trust with trustee's sales. The trustee must record a notice of default and provide at least 120 days before the sale. The sale is a public auction conducted by the trustee, and there is no right of redemption after a trustee's sale.
Can a lender pursue a deficiency judgment after a trustee's sale in Idaho?
Idaho generally restricts deficiency judgments after trustee's sales under Idaho Code Section 45-1512. This anti-deficiency protection encourages fair bidding and protects borrowers from personal liability after non-judicial foreclosure.
How does community property affect mortgage lending in Idaho?
Idaho is a community property state, meaning both spouses may need to sign the deed of trust even if only one is on the mortgage. MLOs must understand community property implications for title, liens, and consent requirements.
What are the Idaho MLO licensing requirements?
Idaho requires 20 hours NMLS pre-licensing education, 75% passing score, FBI background check, credit report review, $25,000 minimum surety bond, and $25,000 minimum net worth for companies.
