Currently i have a offer accepted on a foreclosed property but the bank is saying there is a Lis Pendens on the property. Ive never heard of a Lis Pendens before but i know that the title will not be cleared if its still there by closing time. Has anyone dealt with a property like this or know of what i should expect like time frame and if worth going thru the process?

If there's sufficient equity in the home to pay off the mortgage then you can purchase the property with a regular closing without any tittle encumbrances. If the property is underwater then this is a short sale.  Your realtor should clarify this for you.
