Hi Vicki, have you considered trying to buy the home? I would connect with a local lender in your area and see what you could qualify for. As the others mentioned if you have a lease you can stay in your home during the term of the lease if buying isn’t an option. Leanne

You can check with a real estate attorney to get advice on this. Maybe consider getting a short term loan to pay the taxes owed. Wishing you the best!

Go to the search and put the state, county etc.. and avialble homes will pop up. you can reach out to the listing agent by scrolling down on the listing info and they can help you with the FHA HUD $500.00 down info. good luck!

Hi Kacie, first talk with your current real estate agent. It 100% depends on the offer you accepted and the trems of the offer. Sometimes after you have accepted an offer your agent may be able to keep it active accepting back up offers. wishing you the best!

I think based on your question, best to go ahead and sell it now. selling a home occupied with a tenant can get complicated. I would talk with an agent in your market area about the different options.
