My name is Sam Cohen and I am an investor and real estate agent in Sonoma County.

If you can purchase this home with private money or seller financing and get a $110k loan, then you could do a rate/term refi right after so do a 90 or 120 day note to secure the property and get it in your name, then refi into long term debt using the full appraised value. 

My name is Zach Langley, and I’m a licensed realtor based in Dallas, TX.

I don't think one will make money on a net-net basis over the long term.I had asked the same question to local and foreign buyers agent in japan and had vague responses from them as they know the reality.The opportunity lies in the foreclosed property in Japan.
