I have gotten a number of mistakes in the distributions, but they always seem to correct them and say that their new system will obviate that kind of thing going forward.

That is probably correct that based on todays pricing and interest rates with down payments of 20-25% the property will not cash flow.

@Rene Hosman is correct.

This is an investment property for you, correct?

This allows you to duplicate (actually compound if done correctly) your resources...both time and money.

I’m talking the local PD to make sure I have my information correct and can make sure bases are covered if the tenant decides to lawyer. 

I am assuming they are selling you the lien at $21K and not giving it to you instead of a refund - please correct me if I am wrong. i don't know what state this lien is in, but I don't understand why "redemption value" is higher than the lien plus the interest.

Chris was partially correct ... the Roofer (Company I hope) should cover costs related to the roof, damage inside, and on/to that property.

@Ernest Wade You have the correct mindset focusing on equity and appreciation rather than cash flow.

And we haven't even gotten to roads, water management, soil corrections, water/sewer infrastructure, electric etc etc..
