I usually have more questions than answers, but experience has taught me that once a sale is scheduled…it can’t be stopped, it must go forward.
Quit claiming the property to you would do nothing to stop the sale. The bank wants their money and they want it now…thus the foreclosure.
Perhaps the only way to get in on this bargain is to be at the sale with cash in hand to pay the lender (easier said than done) to subliminally suggest to the lender that there is no need to bid on the property and keep it in their portfolio…they can take your money and be done with it. The problem with that is the banks are out to make a profit also. If they know of the equity, you can bet they want it for themselves!
In a nutshell, once the foreclosure sale has been scheduled, nothing can stop it. Wouldn’t it be nice if people who knew they were going to be foreclosed upon said something earlier?
Good luck
