I have been renting a home and signed a new lease extending through to 12/31/2010. About 1 month after re-resigning, I received a letter from the rental agency that the house was being put up for sale, short sale/foreclosure. I immediately started searching for a new rental home as I have 3 children and surely did not want to be stuck in a situation where I was forced out and no place to go.

I was scheduled to close on a property I own in Georgia tomorrow. The closing attorney notified me today that the closing was cancelled because they received notice that a lien was being filed.

Thank...

My husband and I are trying to purchase a mobile home. My in-laws are giving us some land. Unfortunately, we have recently learned that by some error or mistake the warranty deed with vendor's lien was not placed of record at the time of purchase or when the deed of trust was placed of record.

My ex has not made a pmt on this house since 9/2008 and he keeps asking for modifications, keeping the banks running in circles and delaying having to make any pmts.on the house. It has been in foreclosure for some time, though currently they tell me they are "working" with him.

We had a contract with a seller and were in the process of purchasing unimproved land. The lender and title company were not able to get everything together by the first closing date, but the broker said it would be no problem to have the date extended. We signed an amended contract to have the closing date extended 5 days. By this time we had already paid for the appraisal and the Water Well inspection. Two days before we were to close, the seller decides he wants to pull out because he's found
