Idaho is a non-judicial foreclosure state. A trustee's sale can complete in roughly five to six months, driven by the mandatory 120-day gap between the recorded notice of default and the sale. There is no post-sale redemption after a trustee's sale (Idaho Code § 45-1508); statutory redemption arises only if the lender instead forecloses judicially. Because a lender absorbs carrying cost and risk for that entire period, a cash note sale today often beats carrying the credit through foreclosure.
Most commercial real estate qualifies for deed-of-trust treatment (property within an incorporated city or up to 80 acres), so the non-judicial track is standard: record the notice of default, give the 120-day notice, and sell. A deficiency remains available but must be sought within three months of the sale and is capped at the debt less the property's fair market value.
