First time buyer

[Britney Townsend]

Hi 

I was recently presented with the opportunity to purchase my late Uncle and Aunt's house.  Only thing is I don't know much about real estate. I was considering trying to buy the house through a short sale. I have been reading some articles about short sales but wanted some advise as what exactly I can do as far as letting the house go into foreclosure and then try to buy it. 

Extra info about the property

The house as been unoccupied for 6 yrs

My Uncle remarried but did not change the paperwork with his new wife's name on anything ( who gets the deed after the person dies?)

He has two sons who don't want the house

The mortgage is current!! ( should payments be stopped?)
