What is the name of your state (only U.S. law)? Tennessee.
We just found out that a house up the street, a very nice house indeed, is going to be sold at a foreclosure auction on the courthouse steps this coming week.
There has been no attempt to sell the house, no notices posted anywhere, and the people who live there are still there, living their usualy high life style, buying new and very expensive lawn equipment this last week, making a pleasure trip with their grandchildren, giving no one any indication they might be moving out.
We'd love to own this house, are very serious about going to the sale and trying to bid on it, have the available $$ if it goes for a reasonable price.
But our question is, this guy made his living as some sort of financial planner. With this in mind, assuming he might have some competence in dealing with foreclosure issues, what exactly could be going on? We got word there could be an "IRS lien" on the house.
But what we want to know is, if we purchased this house, which seems to have been refinanced and double mortgaged a few years ago when the housing boom was in full swing, would we then have to go through the eviction process with these people? Is there any way anyone sees that they may be trying to let this house go into foreclosure without moving out, something they might try to keep it and get out from under their obligations? They certainly give no indications to their friends and neighbors about any intention to move.
