I figure it’s best not to show them comps that support the value I’m shooting for unless I need to challenge the appraisal that comes in. I

So here is where I come in, I want to purchase this house, but I don’t know the legal aspect of the foreclosure nor how it works when they are not divorced.

I decided to get it rented and start having money coming in. I

I short-sale one, did a Deed in Leu of foreclosure for another, and kept the duplex that I still live in. I

Based on the neighborhood this property is in, I don't believe rental cash flow would support that approach, but it could be a viable option in certain situations.

It was very common to create a "beam pocket" in the foundation walls for the main beam to sit in. I

I did a cash out refi on my primary residence and I have $35,000 to invest in. I

Thank you both for chiming in. I

Which state do you live in? I

The court way was beautiful and the doors on the units were brand new but once I entered the door to the hallway the unit im interested in I saw peeling paint, the carpet in the hallways was a bit gross, the stairs weren't perfect under the carpet, there was a bug glue trap in front of a couple of the doors and in the unit itself there was a mouse trap in the closet with the furnace.
