@Joshua Lee Wegner you can't stop the train if this is slated for sheriff sale...unless there is a redemption opportunity...but you'd need to settle the property owners debt to bring the mortgage current...this doesn't sound like there is any opportunity to acquire this property...it's too late...the only opportunity with these is to negotiate with the lender...sell it short , maybe...have you spoken to the lender? 

Joshua,I am new to real estate investing but I own a video production company.  

@Joshua Lee Wegner @Luke Espasandin awesome thanks for your comments!

I also live in SD, but my partner and I are investing in MFR buy and hold / BRRRR in the Morongo Basin (near Joshua Tree Nat'l Park).
