Door knock when time is running out?

[Jared Emerick]

Found a home in my community that is going to auction in a week. I'm going to go to their home tomorrow to see if I can help them at all, or know someone who can. Recorder's site confirms process has been off and on for over a year. It appears as if they at least have 80% LTV when I see the terms and dates originated.

Any thoughts or strategies you would use? Im thinking (quick thoughts here), get the deed, subject to, reinstate, carpet/paint rehab (to dress it up), retail sale.
