Selling a commercial loan in Oregon

Oregon is a non-judicial foreclosure state. A trust-deed trustee's sale commonly completes in roughly 5 to 6 months, anchored by the statutory 120-day gap between notice of default and sale. There is no post-sale redemption after an Oregon trustee's sale; only judicial foreclosure carries a 180-day redemption, which is a key reason commercial lenders avoid the courthouse. Because a lender absorbs carrying cost and risk for that entire period, a cash note sale today often beats carrying the credit through foreclosure.

Process

Foreclosure in Oregon

Oregon commercial lending runs on trust deeds under the Oregon Trust Deed Act: the trustee records a notice of default and election to sell, serves and publishes, and sells no sooner than 120 days later, with the borrower able to cure until five days before the sale. Residential-only overlays such as foreclosure-avoidance mediation do not burden commercial files. Electing the trustee's sale generally forgoes a deficiency on the trust-deed debt — the standard trade for speed and a redemption-free deed.

Selling the note instead

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.
