@Christian Gibbs appears you're throwing good money after bad:(How did you come to own this house?

>These storms of a century now appear to be happening every couple of years.

@Walker Hinshaw I have worked for similar programs for 14 years now.

You can take advantage of first-time homebuyer programs or low down payment options since you’ll be living in the property.Exit strategy.

You can also use a different programs if your building a Primary Home, Vacation Home or Investment rental.There are a lot of great builders in Ohio and its end of year so you might be able to get in on a discount since they may still have some inventory left over.

Our plan is occupy the home as our primary residence.After further digging through the Grantor/Grantee Index it appears that the original lien that is being auctioned is from 2005 and a couple of the banks listed on that original Deed of Trust are now defunct and closed (one is First Franklin).

@Jeff Galak no XP with either, but after looking over the sites both appear to be mostly a call line and contractor dispatcher, which many self-managed investors can often handle now via contractor directories like Thumbtack, Angie’s List to start until you find your reliable go-to’s.

I did eventually get them evicted and thankfully they didnt trash my property (though they left a lot of trash that cost me $500 to get rid of but o well).The other time this happened was a tenant I moved in who had a good job at a hospital, the hospital had a program where they paid the security deposit and first months rent.

I'm also pretty new and still in college so I don't want my experience or appearance jeopordize any deals so it's unrealistic for me to go to the properties in person.
