Getting a tenant isn't an overnight thing, you may have repairs to make before getting one, so it could be a few months of paying double before you see any income generated from your househack. 

@Jimmy Leaton If you can rent out your primary home and it can be cashflow positive to help with upkeep from maintenance, repairs, and any bits of vacancy then it's worth exploring more.

What needs to be repaired etc.    

Shouldn't be an issue in most big cities having a list of cash buyers that are just dreaming you will bring them a 70%-repair deals. 

@Andrew Gheen Sounds like you have more experience than the average guy at repairing/renovating a property.

How do they handle emergency repairs?

Teaching personal finance, woodshop, home repair, car repair (the mechanical part) and cooking should be required at every high school.

Every state is going to be a little different in terms of forms and procedures, but expect any buyer who is represented by an Agent to include a request for you to pay some or all of their agent's commission with their offer just like they would have prior to the NAR settlement.

They were extremely fast to get the pictures and whatever was needed to get the house started to repair. 

You can contact the law firm who published the info also.Each jurisdiction has it own procedures.
