Post: Preventing tax foreclosure

Is there a way to stall a tax foreclosure. I just found out today I have until the 3rd of Jan before they foreclose on it. I was under the impression I had more time. Is there a way to stall?

My company is still doing nationwide HELOCs, never stopped.  I don't personally lend in NC, but can talk to a few in my group to see if anyone can help you.  I'll send them over if I find one.

Cheers!

Hello do you do Helocs in Ny?

Im looking for a quick Lease option to present to my current landlord, I have never done a lease option but I remember years ago i went to a workshop where the instructor mentioned getting credits for paying on time. I tried to find a template online that actually had credits on the templates but they tend to miss other things. Can someone point me in the right direction?
