Here's a casein FL - Seller in foreclosure has 120k principal @4%, Shes 10k in arrears, house is worth about 250k, good condition.She wants to stay at the house, but doesn't mind selling it if needed.She will likely not qualify for a loan mod at the moment, good amount of equity.She works in the medical field, just took sick and fell behind.I was thinking of offering to pay her 10K in arrears and creating a 2nd mortgage @ 10% interest.if she defaults, i can foreclose,  as there is a bunch of equity there.any thoughts of a better scenario that i can make more of this situtation?

Began scanning MLS everyday to find a deal (I am my own realtor and this is my first transaction).January 2024 – After searching deals daily, I saw a property listed that day for 219,500 two blocks from my parents home and promptly made an offer that day for 222,222.Listing realtor kept the bidding open for a week and asked for a counter based on competing bids (in hindsight I don't think there were actually other bids).
