One more thing, after reading and agreeing completely with Brent's post - before the auction set your maximum bid price (exact $ amount) and do not bid any more than this price.

And while there's no overabundance of case law I'd recommend trying to stay away from for the year before you sell unless you document circumstances, motivations, and justifications very thoroughly.After the completion of a 1031 it's a different story.  

The existing mortgage stays in place and the buyer takes over the payments and the deed is transferred to the buyer.The most common stipulation found in a “subject-to” contract is that of the buyer completing a home inspection.However, with home sales becoming more difficult and find the need to sell their house for far less, buyers are harder to find and those that make offers are not able to complete the purchase because they face difficult lending criteria.This is where subject-to an existing mortgage comes in, what this means is that we the buyer of the home takes over the title to the property, but the seller retains the mortgage itself.
