If you choose to self manage, for starters, follow the HUD screening best practices and that will help tremendously. 

NO OTHER BUSINESS practices should be conducted by either party except for that property only. 

In theory (if not practice), if the foreclosure already occurred, any liens behind the foreclosing entity were wiped out.

Putting a lien on the house is probably not practical if you are part owner. 

In practice the provider entered into the purchase agreement, wholesells it at $125k to the investor, renovates it for $30k+ takes $5k to oversee the renovation, and voila - the property ends up costing the investor the same $160k that it appraised at.

I don't think it is practical for me to set a tailored price for each day, and even if I could, that price would no longer be dynamic.
