    Consult a lawyer and ask them.

    @Larry Bondar Trustee sale or judicial? First step would be put a contract together, then contact the foreclosing lender. You'll have to convince them that you Will actually buy the house, that this is not just some stall tactic or wholesale fantasy. You'd need a strong contract, no contingencies, large EM, POF, etc. They may or may not agree.

    If this is a judicial sale, you’d have to get an emergency hearing scheduled, and convince the judge as well as the lender.
