Get a lender, enter into contract, close escrow, enjoy your new home. if you have less than 30 days, you would need the seller's cooperation to contact the foreclosing entity to see if they will postpone to give you time to close the deal. it's not guaranteed and the lender is under no obligation to do so but if everyone wins (seller sells, lender gets paid off in full, you get a home), most lenders will provide a small window of time to get it done.

They are willing to do it anyway.
