If the bank buys the house back, they usually hire a real estate company to sell the house for them. If you are the winning bidder, then you have to pay 10% down immediately by cash or certified funds. Then you have 7 days to pay the remaining balance off without incurring any interest. If you can not pay in 7 days, you have 30 days to pay off the remainder, with interest. If you are not able to pay off the balance within 30 days, you can request an extension, which is not always obvious or held in contempt of court, subject to fines and loss of deposit of 10% deposit.
