If I’m on the verge of having a foreclosure started on my home, how long does it take for them to actually foreclose on me and force me to leave?
I need to know what I can do to get help so this doesn’t happen. I’m trying to keep up on my payments but it’s hard when you lose half your income. Additionally, I have a daughter in college and I’m a widow.

Ordinarily once you have been served with a notice of default you have ninety (90) days before you have to worry about a trustee's sale of your mortgage. Given what you have written about, I suggest that you consult with a real estate attorney to see about a possible loan modification for you.
