Christopher Morales,I have had the IRS release liens so the taxpayer can move in certain circumstances if it would cause a hardship.

My predicament is that I can't rely on myself for accurate estimates and I have a separate full-time job so I really need to rely on general contractors.

Moral of the story, you will get suggestions but only if you provide details so that we can give suggestions based on those details and not be left to speculate on what it is you are trying to talk about.

Ive been looking for online forum for real estate seeking moral support.

If I did that, though, it'd be to compliment my main agent, not to replace her.Anyway, the moral of the story is that a lot of what is posted above is true.

Moral of the story, you can not circumvent foreclosure.Barring details about the tenant buyers, why not just mortgage/deed of trust the property to them for the agreed price at a reasonable interest rate and be a lien holder?  

Moral of story, do as much research on any property prior to purchase as you can, especially municipal violations , or instruct your Title Co/attorney to do same.  

There are legal and moral ways to make the transaction work.There the illegal or immoral ways to do business.If you get a reputation for being shady do not complain latter.Every wonder while the public thinks agents cut corners or do things that they should not be involved in?

@Andrew LeeHow about discussing your predicament with your attorney? 

@Armando Morales  I normally find a new tenant after the current one has given notice.
