In TN, the tax sale process is a lawsuit the county files in court, so there are attorneys and motions and court hearings on almost every aspect.

They might request to re-process some aspect of the loan or to show some proof of some things, but most lenders don't want to deal with all of the back-end stuff on something like that. 

Let me address your questions and provide additional clarity on key aspects:1.

While I’ve been involved in much of the process, and I know Hawaii’s rules, regs and other intricacies well, I have never obtained investors, never signed contractsI and never opened escrow so I feel like I’ve been more of a spectator… I’m basically starting from scratch and I’m a bit nervous. 

ThanksHello Imani, my husband and I have been building big beautiful brick properties day in and day out in Detroit for the passed 5 years straight and I’m proud to say we are experts in all aspects of building and maintaining successful rental properties in Detroit City.  

I have analyzed around 15 delas so far and all have resulted in negative flows.

- Tap your equity without refinancing - YES- Pay down principal and save 8% interest - YES- Lower interest than "hard money" loans - YES- Interest-only payment if needed -YESThe negative is paying high interest from the combination of high principal and high interest %.  

I imagined that it would be insignificant / negative with the property being turn key already. 

This means the 50% rule fails now (50% + 60% = 110% --- 10% more in costs than rent), and other cost estimate methodologies seem to yield negative net cash flow.Am I thinking about this correctly?

The automation aspect was cool, but as carriers are getting stricter it's going to be harder to have good delivery rates.
