I forget the number right now but if you are within I think 5 days from sale date the lender isn't obligated to reinstate, but still may.You may be able to delay the foreclosure by simply asking for more time, you are now the property owner and have some sway.A couple observations:You don't have title insurance as no title company will insure a trustee's deed in CA, so that won't help you.You won the auction based on your commitment to occupy the property (SB1079), so this is not a quick flip.To buy time and delay foreclosure you can file a stripped down bankruptcy.You can't stop payment on the 86k wining bid since you paid cash at the trustee sale.Generally trustee sale buyers don't have a real good feeling for the property condition, unless you do for some reason, so this is a wild card.
