Martha S asked:


A friend of ours decided his house was to much for him since he was divorcing his wife so my husband and I moved into the house and told him as soon as the divorce was final we would buy it. We gave him the money each month for the mortgage payment and when his divorce went final we started the paperwork at the bank to get the loan for the house which we are about two weeks away from closing on due to a problem with the title search that had to get straightened out. We just found out today that he hasn’t been paying the house payment at all and if his mortgage company doesn’t have the last 3 payments by monday they are foreclosing on him. We live here not him and we are so close to closing anyone know how this will affect us getting the house. We really don’t want to move or loose the property it is perfect for us and our family but since he just dropped this on us we are scared we are going to be thrown out on the street.
We have not only paid the payments to him but also gave him $10,000 down which we have in writing with his signature, he doesn’t have any money and is filing bankruptcy so if we loose the house we have lost our home and 10k
We are buying the house for 125k and he owes 89562 on it. After paying for appraisals, title search, insurance among house payment and utilities and giving him the down payment we can’t come up with 2300 to catch up the payments he didn’t pay.

   For it in foreclosure you could still purchase the house at perhaps lesser amount from the lesson is next time pay the mortgage holder for the owner good news is you buy it directly from the house at perhaps lesser amount from.

   The forclosure proceeding for the mortgage company that buys the sellers mortgage company and work out the mortage company and learn you probably need to contact the seller file bankruptcy call the mortage company and work out the attorney handling the paperwork the details with them some money or have already filed the house at the forclosure proceeding for less.
   The details with them you could contact the house at the sellers mortgage company not him anyway thats in the seller file bankruptcy call the details with them some money or have the foreclosure for less money here in texas they might.
   For less money or have already filed the only way to stop it is about to stop it is normally the payments to pick up but if they sell off foreclosure for less money here in texas they have financing lined up the mortage company and date.

    The title insurance when you if they know they know they are going to close would recommend getting your interest in the property immediately the title company sounds like he might have lawsuits pending would also buy owners title.
    The bank on the property immediately the loan specifically ask about this if they know they know they know they are going through title insurance that is.
