Cart before the horse here a little bit. 

I just hope you really see what mistakes you have made, brush yourself off, but get back on that horse, just this time with more knowledge.

But, let's not shoot the horse we have to ride.

Not to beat a dead horse but it is quite common for a consumer that is not employed in the profession of foreclosing, acquisition of and disposition of foreclosed assets, to mix up industry vernacular and come up with their own conclusion of what it is that they did or want to do, mixing half truths and internet keyword searches on Google.

Airlines now allow "cats, dogs, and small horses"- no joke. 

What I've seen is that folks who change horses generally do worse than those who stay the course (in either direction).  

You have to make multiple offers of course and get back on the horse you were bucked off of.

@Greggory Kowalkowski I had this same exact scenario in one of my units...property is from 1880.We did the old fashioned method in 75% of the unit which was spraying chemicals and scraping down to the horse hair plaster.

When I woke up to go deal with our horses I found the door into our RV "bared" from outside.
