Foreclosure • … Pre-foreclosure sale to third party ... • If receiver appointed, start there. • Nuts & bolts not too different from any deal. • Unless you have a boatload of cash, or just want to see what happens, don’t bother attending the foreclosure sale. • Lender likely to buy at foreclosure sale, and can always buy from lender then.
