Negotiating the bank down?...
Here is a mortgage statement from a homeowner that is being foreclosed on. He wants to sell to me. Can I negotiate some of the interest and late fees down from the bank? And what is the best way to approach that conversation? Thank you for any help!

If anyone knows the best way to get the bank to postpone the auction that is also helpful. But even if I can't close until after the auction they are still within that 6 month period so my purchase would take precedence correct?

Have the homeowner talk to the bank and ask if there is a way he can sell his property to pay them back.
