IF it was not on an auction site none of the information would be known unless you do your own research. they could say its a 3bed 2 bath home and you go buy and its burned down (seen that before). 100% is on the person bidding at auction.

I would never do sub to for the purpose of holding long term rentals  ( at least personally) .

Your risk vs. reward is way off balance there. 

While personal circumstances can vary, it will be a unique situation indeed if $10K in debt should force you to declare bankruptcy.

Our life is complicated and I work a complicated stressful job, but if we’re being honest, I also don’t have time for renters, but I somehow make it work and I personally think it pays off.Mtg: 1800Rent: 2900Owe: 200Rate: 4.5 I thinkSell Price: est. 450-460No other rentals except an in law suite on our current primaryFuture goals: would love to use this properly to buy other properties to get out of the corporate rat race. 

If you personally are having trouble making a profitable deal, make a post and ask for suggestions.
