An attorney for homeowner Ken Row told the Dallas Morning News that Row purposely withheld mortgage payments from Bank of America in an attempt to negotiate a lower interest rate. So the bank foreclosed.

The home, adjacent to the Stevens Park golf course, is now set for the Aug. 4 Dallas County foreclosure auction. The attorney says Row is making back payments now, and he expects the home will make it out of foreclosure.
