A Borrower in Foreclosure has the right to refinance, however finding a willing lender is difficult.

When there is a foreclosure complaint filed, can I refinance?
A Borrower can refinance their home anytime before the Foreclosure matter is complete. The Foreclosure matter is complete at such time as the Redemption period discussed above has expired, a sale has taken place and that Foreclosure Sale has been confirmed by the Judge and an order of possession is issued.. However, once the Foreclosure has been filed the number of buyers willing to buy at retail and Lenders willing to lend to someone already behind in payments dwindle. Your Bank will usually not accept a short-payoff on a refinance. New Lenders do not want to take a chance on someone who has not been making their payments in regards to a refinance.
