Thanks for the comments, especially 4Dave; your admonition to buy at foreclosure following debt discharge is good. Just for everyone's edification, this property has been valued at $198K and the note is roughly $150K, making this a steal. The home does need some renovation, however, estimated costs are well below $15K.
If I can ever get the mortgage officer to return my call I will definitely enlist the help of a real estate attorney.
Thanks for your help.
