- Bought a condo in AZ for 127k in 02/2005 and lived there until 03/2006
- Moved back to CA and rented it out a few...

We've been sinking for a long time. We were going to file last Spring. Our atty told us to stop paying the house paymnt so we could keep the principle up on the 1st mortgage so we could hopefully strip the 2nd with the bk.

Does anyone have experience with foreclosure timeline in Washington state? Also wondering if I'll be liable for past due porperty taxes accumulated after my discharge back in 2009, or will those stay with the house through the foreclosure?

Quite by accident we learned our house is now on the list for sheriff sale in Decmeber- by way a a form letter from a short sale realtor! How firm are the sale dates? Aren't we supposed to be officially notified? What tactics may help slow the process?

Does it help that I'm presently...

Yes, only I am on the mortgage and I filed chapter 7, discharged last year.
Because I surrendered my home in Chapter 7, it will be foreclosed sooner or later.
