Once you have made contact, you will purchase the property or have them deed it to you through a quit claim deed subject to the liens.

Can try to reposition to Class B, but neighborhood may impede these efforts.Vacancy Est: Historically 10%, but 15-20% should be used to also cover tenant nonpayment, eviction costs & damages.Tenant Pool: majority will have FICO scores of 560-620 (approaching 22% probability of default), many blemishes, but should have no evictions in last 2 years.

If you want a Ring, get a Ring.There are a TON of options for cameras out there to cover the door.Ya pays yer money and ya takes yer chances.

I have some funds of my own, but not enough to cover the steep down payment.

Lenders don't like borrowers without reserves.Is it risky if the property cashflows well at 100% financing, in an appreciating area, and you have plenty of cash in the bank to cover any problems? 

If you can do the deal yourself safely, with reserves to cover unexpected issues, it is a lot cleaner.
