Behind on your house payments and wondering how much time you have before the bank takes action?
You’re not alone — and the good news is, foreclosure doesn’t happen overnight in Texas.
At Freedom Properties Direct, we help local homeowners understand the timeline, their rights, and what they can do right now to avoid losing their home.
Whether you’ve missed one payment or you’re three behind, you still have options — and we’re here to walk you through them.
You’re Not Alone And It’s Not Too Late
Falling behind doesn’t mean you’ve failed. Life hits hard sometimes — a job loss, medical bills, or just a tough season.
We talk to Texans every day who are behind on their mortgage and unsure what’s next. They feel anxious, ashamed, and overwhelmed — but they’re also looking for answers.
If that’s you, take a breath. You’re not the first person this has happened to — and you won’t be the last.
Foreclosure in Austin Texas moves quickly, but not instantly. If you’re behind, there’s still time to make a move that protects your credit, your dignity, and your future.
We’re here to help you do that — with honesty, respect, and zero pressure.
The Austin Texas Foreclosure Timeline Explained
Texas is known for having one of the fastest foreclosure timelines in the country. But that doesn’t mean you’re out of time after one missed payment.
Here’s what usually happens:
📅 1 Missed Payment (30 Days Late)
You’ll likely get hit with a late fee and a reminder notice.
No foreclosure yet — but the clock has started.
📅 2 Missed Payments (60 Days Late)
The lender will start calling and mailing you more serious warnings.
They may mention “default” or “loss mitigation.”
📅 3 Missed Payments (90+ Days Late)
Now you’re officially in the danger zone.
The lender may issue a Notice of Default or prepare to send a Notice of Sale.
In Texas, that notice only has to give you 21 days’ warning before your house is auctioned.
⚠️ Important:
From your first missed payment to foreclosure can be as short as 90–120 days in Texas. If you’ve missed a payment — even just one — now is the time to understand your options.
What Happens If You Miss 1, 2, or 3+ Payments
Let’s make this simple:
✅ Missed 1 Payment
You’re behind, but it’s fixable. Late fees apply. No foreclosure yet. Call your lender or explore help while it’s still early.
✅ Missed 2 Payments
The lender may label your account in “default” and start calling often. This is when many homeowners feel overwhelmed but there’s still time.
✅ Missed 3 or More
This is where things move fast. Your credit is impacted, and you could receive a 21-day Notice of Sale any day. If that happens, your home could be sold at auction next month.
But here’s the key:
Until the auction happens, you still have time to stop it or sell on your terms.

How to Catch Up or Buy More Time
Selling Before Foreclosure Starts
No one wants to sell their home. But sometimes, it’s the smartest way to stay in control — before the bank makes that decision for you.
Here’s how selling before foreclosure can help:
✔ Stops the foreclosure process completely
✔ Protects your credit from long-term damage
✔ May leave you with money in your pocket after closing
✔ You choose your move-out date
✔ No repairs, showings, or agents — we buy as-is
We’re not here to force anything. We’re here to give you a respectful, pressure-free option that puts you back in charge.
If you’re ready to look at all your options, we’ll help you do that — even if it means not working with us.
Real Texans We’ve Helped Just in Time

After missing 3 payments, Carlos received a foreclosure notice with just 2 weeks left. We made him an offer the same day he called and closed in 6 days. No auction, no stress.
🏠 Yolanda – Manchaca
Yolanda was a month behind and scared to tell her kids. We walked her through the timeline and helped her work out a short-term plan that gave her breathing room.
🏠 Ben & Alicia – Manor
This couple had no idea they were just weeks away from losing their home. We helped them sell fast, protect their credit, and move closer to family with money in hand.
They didn’t think they had time — but they did.
So do you.

What Austinites Ask Us When They’re Falling Behind
- How many payments can I miss before foreclosure starts?
✅ Usually 3 payments, but your lender could start action anytime after 90 days of no payment.

✅ No — it’s the best time to call. You’ll have more options and less pressure.
- Can I stop foreclosure once it starts?
✅ In some cases, yes. You may be able to reinstate the loan or sell fast before the auction date.

- Will I owe anything after selling?
✅ If there’s equity in the home, you keep the leftover cash. No commissions or fees.
