    I don’t know the foreclosure laws in your state. But when I did a quick search, I was finding seemingly conflicting information. Some things I found said there was no redemption period, yet other information indicated there was.

    Either way, I would highly recommend your boyfriend contact an attorney that is familiar with foreclosure in your area.

    In the meantime, here’s a couple of sites that might be helpful.

    As long as there is a post on this subject, another name to watch out for is John Ross. I can give a lot of details. Beware!
