If I am understanding the situation, you took at a 12 month loan and it is now due and the lender is foreclosing (I do not understand the six month comment).Here is the reality, getting a lawyer and spending $ to delay a foreclosure is only going to cost you more $ as the lender will also have legal costs that get added to the loan and you will have legal costs.Your options are refinance or file bankruptcy.

Understand what forms are needed and when, don't be late filing them, and you can avoid the need for a specifically trained solo 401K expert CPA.

Trying to understand the order of operations to do this: detach doors, sand, prime, repaint boxes.
