Your answer depends on the HOA's motivation to cloud your title, the amount of money you owe and the pro-active nature of board members and/or the association manager.

How long does it take to foreclose a hoa lien in Florida?
Your question assumes that a lien will automatically graduate to a foreclosure action, which is an invalid assumption. If the association has filed a lien on your title, and the lien is based on past-due assessments, the HOA may decide -- the past-due amounts are or become large enough -- to sell your home to satisfy your debt. The two actions may follow the same process if they involve past-due assessments, so in that sense the two actions are related. But one does not automatically trigger the other. Best practices dictate that you work with your board to pay your past-due assessments, so that you will not lose your home to foreclosure by the HOA.

Which US states allow HOA Foreclosures?
If a mortgage lender is forced to foreclose on a property with an outstanding, unpaid loan, there is probably nothing in any association structure that would protect a home from this bank action -- in any US state.Read your governing documents to determine whether or not the HOA can sell your property in order to satisfy debts that you owe.Another PerspectiveIn most states the HOA must file a civil action for unpaid fees and win a judgment lien. The authority to take property to satisfy a lien is derived from law, after due process, and not from any provisions of an HOA. State laws vary on the priority of the lien. Generally any existing mortgage and any existing tax liens take priority to the HOA lien. Should the HOA foreclose on the home, it receives proceeds from the sale only after paying off any superior liens. Most HOA liens do not result in a foreclosure sale since the legal costs are high. The property cannot be sold or mortgaged until the lien is paid. The lien is generally paid from the proceeds of a sale to a new owner before the net proceeds are turned over to the seller.For greater detail regarding lien foreclosures in a particular state you need to research the laws in that state.

Can you buy an HOA lien from an HOA and force the homeowner to pay you for all back fees and interest?
Yes. A note on the interest part--your state's law will dictate what interest, if any, you will receive. And you will assume the HOA's liability--if the lien is later declared invalid, you will be responsible for the homeowner's court costs. Make sure that it is a part of the sale of the lien that the HOA will cooperate in any foreclosure proceedings that might occur to collect the lien--without them, the homeowner will likely win.
