There are also many new construction townhomes all over Houston, so if/when you go to re-sale, most people can buy new for just a bit more (if not the same) than buy your used townhome.

Maybe there's something there that I'm not seeing, but me no like. 

If you don't have a clause and there is a valid lease in place you more than likely have to honor the lease unless you can come to an agreement i.e. cash for keys.3.

My question is this: before the am date of the auction 3 weeks from now, is there any way to find out if the mortgage has been paid and brought back to be in good standing, hence avoiding foreclosure and removed from the auction altogether?

Hello, I put my name out there a while back.

There is no 6mnth right of recission.

Coaching can absolutely 10x your business, but theres always a risk of a bad experience.

Try to hang on until the end of the lease, or at least until there’s only 15-30 days left if the tenant is really keeping the property up and will let people walk the property while they pay rent.

@Russell Brazil yes that is true and there is risk involved naturally.

There's great advice in this thread already.
