Minnesota is a non-judicial foreclosure state. Foreclosure by advertisement can reach a sheriff's sale in roughly 90 days, but the six-month redemption period that follows pushes full recovery of title to around nine months. A six-month statutory redemption period follows the sale for most commercial property (twelve months in limited cases such as large-acreage or low-balance loans), and the borrower generally remains in possession during it. Because a lender absorbs carrying cost and risk for that entire period, a cash note sale today often beats carrying the credit through foreclosure.
Foreclosure by advertisement requires no court filing â six weeks of published notice plus service on occupants gets the lender to a sheriff's sale quickly. The real carry is post-sale: the borrower holds possession through redemption and redeems at the sale price plus interest, so the lender's credit bid effectively sets its own exit price, and junior lienholders hold successive redemption rights after the owner's period expires.

A note sale transfers the loan to a buyer for cash, removing the timeline, the legal cost, and the risk of ending up as the owner of the property.
