@Jay Hinrichs thanks, it's very helpful to understand the ways this may play out. the bottom line is that, at this point, i can't count on either owning the property outright or getting my funds back until 30 days AFTER the judge approves the sale.  

The reason I ask is that knowing the fast movers of the area may help you choose your project.Lastly, what kind of renovation budget have you established, and is it an upfront budget, or will you be contributing to it over the time that you live in the property and renovate it? 

If you want to see an example of one of our projects, here is the airbnb link:https://www.airbnb.com/rooms/4...Hope I can help!

Will appreciate any help.

Quote from @Jaycee Greene: @Basit Siddiqi Just sent you a DMI read your message but I am not sure it is what I am looking for.It appears that are a mortgage broker and help investors get financing (correct me if I am wrong)I own a lot of properties free and clear. 

I've seen some of the books on private lending and I can't help giggling when I see them.

Just send me a message and I'll share them.Again I think figure out your Core 4 first and that you have the most confidence in Agent, property manager, contractor, lender and then determine which market you invest in from there.Hope that helps and best of luck!
