Company: Mr. Cooper Group Inc. (FL)

this is XX/XX/2020. It has been for sale since XX/XX/2020. Our house is on the Market for a short sale. It's listed at XXXX only with an equity loan. I have an agent and the lawyer involved in a short sale. 
They are great. They found a buyer that will pay XXXX plus XXXX for costs. 
This is the only buyer that we've had and they are very patient. They want the house. We have no one living there. We lost our tenanst and we don't have the money to fix it up to rent out again. We thought we were doing the right thing by going with a short sale but now we are behind XXXX in payments and it's making me worried. 

The bank denied the amount they want to give. We offered to help. They do not want it. 

It looks like a possible foreclosure. We didn't want to go that route. 

Any help will be appreciated.
