Selling a commercial loan in Colorado

Colorado is a non-judicial foreclosure state. A Public Trustee sale, with a court 'Rule 120' order authorizing it, commonly takes about four months. The owner has no post-sale redemption right (eliminated in 2008); junior lienholders may redeem within a short statutory window. 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 Colorado

Colorado runs foreclosures through a county Public Trustee, with a Rule 120 court hearing to authorize the sale. The owner's redemption right was eliminated in 2008, so the sale is effectively final — but the multi-month timeline still accrues carry.

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.
