What will it cost you if they do not remove anything after closing and you have to dispose of it?

So if you are not quite ready for a deal you are paying zero interest but you have that tool at your disposal should you need the money quickly.

Such as upgrading to a 1 horsepower garbage disposal when a .25 horsepower one is having issues ?

Most of improvements should be in this category anyway and would be included in the exchange calculations.However, components that were treated as shorter-life property will be considered disposed in the exchange, possibly triggering some taxable gains.

The wholesaler/real estate broker offers a turn key package to include purchasing the property, rehabbing the property, disposing of the debris, etc. 

That might mean you could dispose of the property in total only after that gifted element has aged sufficiently to get 121 benefits for the entire sale price.

Unpaid since Sept 2017)Second TD - @$25k (0% interest, $10 per month, due on sale, loss, or disposal of property)Back taxes $7kForeclosure cost through auction; @$3,500 ARV - @ $97k.

I currently have about 15k at my disposal and looking at a few potential houses that fit what I’m looking for.

Determine your risk profile, and what minimum returns / safety net you need to feel comfortable with your investment.In summary, I personally believe that you have to step through scenarios, run the numbers, evaluate timelines, determine your time investment (you only have 24 hours per day at your disposal) and see which option(s) work best for you and your metrics... and live with.  ...Oh, did I mention that you should evaluate the numbers/scenarios against your metrics / parameters to see what works best for you ?
