Lot size laws changed recently here in Houston so I am scrambling to catch up and see if I can make something of the opportunity.

Hi BP,I am scrambling right now to make the right offer in the right way by tomorrow noon.

Then, maintain a stable you can pick and choose from as your properties, and their lending criteria, fit.The last thing you want is to be scrambling at the last minute to find money after having an aggressive offer accepted.Good luck, Jonny.

I figured that was because the first was confident they were covered and the 2nd was scrambling to make sure they got their piece, and to make sure the court knew their piece was 569K, not 390K.But I was looking for that one smoking gun that should have told me, yes this auction is definitely for the second mortgage ...or even yes, this auction is definitely NOT on the first mortgage.

If they walk because they find another property and do not have any financial risk you could be left scrambling to find another buyer before your A-B contract expires.
