This morning, SS called Tom to update him on what happened Wednesday. For some reason, the auction was postponed until November 28th…??
SS suspects it might be because both our first and second mortgages are with the same bank. They may have decided to consolidate the loans before putting the house back up for auction with a higher minimum bid. Who knows at this point?
But here’s the crazy part—SS and my former boss/co-worker (who are now partners) were actually planning to bid on the house to try to buy it for themselves!
Lunch & A Possible Negotiation
I had lunch with my former boss today (which was arranged before all this house drama unfolded), and I got to share our story with her. :)
She suggested that before the next auction date, we contact the mortgage company and let them know that we have people interested in buying the house. Then, we could try to negotiate a "deed in lieu of foreclosure." This would prevent the foreclosure from being officially recorded against us.
I told her, “Don’t buy the house for us—only do it if God is telling you to.”
So, we’ll see where things go from here…
Completely Worn Out
After lunch, I was so exhausted that when I got back to work, I shut everything down early. I went home around 3:30, went straight to bed, and slept for two and a half hours. 😴
