Foreclosure Scheduled

  My house will be going into tax foreclosure. House is paid off. Foreclosure starts Nov.1. Can I still sell the house up to the date of the foreclosure sale?
 
 

TAlk with the tax office.  I'm pretty sure you could sell the house, but no one will buy it with back taxes owing.  It can be arranged, but you'll have to have a good real estate broker and a good lawyer working for you.  Get on it right away.  Price the house at a bargain for a quick sale.  Let me know what happens; I'm interested.
