If anyone can explain that, they could also explain why someone would bid on a $5500 tax lien where the underlying property value was $800. Or bid zero percent on an online auction where the auctioneer charged 1% for its services.

I was making a rhetorical statement.
If the property is any good it will be redeemed and they would make nothing, if the property is bad then they overpaid. I agree it makes no sense.
further information:.....the house was built and the the acreage sold off around it....the situation was not malitious but i do find myself at the brunt of it all.
what might happen if i allow forclusure....surely the bank could not sell it without aquiring my other half of the land
The bank could try to sell it. After all, you managed to buy the house only to find out what happened, so somebody out there somewhere would probably do the same.
