I am a mortgage broker in the chicago area and it is very hard to get a loan unless you have a purchase contract from the seller and an appraisal with all the supporting docunentation. You should try contacting the person who is going into foreclosure and try to buy it from him before the sale. If you should need help with getting a mortgage to purchase this property please email me with your name and phone number and I will help you with this situation
