Maybe I should postpone the work until I can get more than one solid quote.The home is worth ~105k and I still owe ~87k.

Can he postpone the retirement?

I'm going to go contact homeowners who have a Notice of Sale, but I noticed that some of them have their Notice of Sale postponed due to "Bankruptcy". 

REI was one of them but due to financial issues I had to postpone my dreams of investing in real estate, fast foward to now Im a local CDL truck driver and in a position where I can start planning again for the future to finally become a RE Investor.

I like to use a famous person's quote on why learn IRR:"We choose to LEARN Internal Rates of Return (IRR) and do the other things, not because they are easy, but because they are hard; because that goal will serve to organize and measure the best of our energies and skills, because that challenge is one that we are willing to accept, one we are unwilling to postpone, and one we intend to win, and the others, too."

I have seen a bank bidding against a buyer on a mortgage foreclosure, seen the buyer go over the bank's max bid, and then seen the bank acting as the plaintiff stop the sale and request to postpone the sale to another date, voiding the bidding up to that point and returning the property to its opening bid the next time it's exposed for sale, with the bank as plaintiff paying the postponement and advertising fees.This happens when a bank owns first and second mortgages on a property, and it's the first mortgage that has forced the foreclosure sale, and the judgment for the first mortgage was a pittance while the second mortgage is for serious money.

Make sure the title is good (sometimes foreclosures are done to fix title issues that cannot be fixed otherwise, or in lieu of a quiet title suit).Close the property, best before the two weeks is up.Wholesale it out.Sometimes, if the property is under contract, the foreclosing entity will postpone the auction.Good Luck,Jim

If I go turnkey I would likely postpone buying and rehabbing for a years or more to get more funds together. 

Thanks @Roy N.Just to clarify- The current second mortgage of $28,000 and the furnace lien would have to postpone there position.

YOU have to follow the law,, you can give option they can accept or it would be postponed till the period required by law to begin..
