Great recommendations @Wilson Lin!

That person already had that money spent in their head even before the property is sold

I spent a bunch of time looking and running numbers before this, and I happened to be in the area the day this listed.It’s a 3 bed, 2.5 bath 2000 sf home with a basement that is mostly finished but needs An egress window to become a 4 bed.

Spent $10k for cosmetic renovations (paint, kitchen, plumbing, minor repairs, etc.)

@Peter Kuck I spent a few hours on this a couple of years ago and found that no one was willing to dip below the 75-80% LTV mark (accumulative 1st and 2nd lien) which I imagine would be even harder in this environment.If you find anyone, would be a game-changer!

Plus you lose that time that could be spent getting the rest of the house put together. 

I would double check I suspect HOA liens get removed as well since they are junior to the tax .. over the years we bought literally hundreds if not more than a thousand parcels in CA at tax sale and never once had a lien survive.. the only bummer was we got one over turned when the county missed the statutory publishing date  ( 21 days) by one day and the owner who lost the property brought a civil suit and the judge reversed it.. the entire sale that year could have been reversed over 250 properties but each and every own would have had to bring a civil suit.. then after one year there is NO ability to reverse the sale. and of course we got our money back.. but spent money on attorney. 

Hi Manuel Jurado!

Dear Rajesh,It took me 3 years to reply to this review and am beyond saddened.I've have spent hours looking through hundreds and hundreds of exchanged emails between us and I am left absolutely baffled.Why?

I spent the last 10+ years as a master electrician & running a business.
