Newbie pre foreclosure question
if a home went into pre foreclosure 1.5 years ago and the sale is in 2 months, and the home is worth $130k, and the owed amount in the filing is $50k, what's stopping me from finding the owner and buying it for $80k so the homeowner keeps some money and saves her credit? How does this work, or am I straigt up fabricating stuff?
