Re: foreclosure due to non payment of taxes

My best suggestion is that you contact the town and try to work out a payment program and pay them the $10,000 down. Or you have to get a mortgage to repay the taxes. I assume you have no mortgage on the property or the Mortgagee would be foreclosing as well.

Good Luck
