As long as they're in the same price range.Also what about taking pictures of the previous completed projects to convey a point.

From what I understand, normally the first may offer the second lien holder a couple thousand dollars in order to convey a clear title. 

From a Virginia perspective, your questions are mostly addressed by the underlying conveyance paperwork.

It's how deeds are conveyed.

Unfortunately, these are qualities that are hard to convey via the internet.You have shown some good signs on this thread by taking in the "constructive feedback", though the best bet would be for you to meet with some local investors in person, as has been mentioned.Show them that you are hungry for knowledge (not just $$) and that you are not afraid of hard work and they will open doors for you.Good Luck!

IMO, being held to a higher standard is an easily conveyable differentiator when explaining to a distressed seller why they should work with me vs. the 5 other investors trying to buy their house.

Look at the most recent conveyance of the property.  

Proceeds to you as the seller would go toward satisfying any outstanding loans and other liens allowing you to convey free and clear title.

The seller is responsible for clearing the loan before the property can be conveyed to the buyer.
