My question is really around the legality and process of taking back the garage from the existing tenants for this project.

Often the debtors will refuse to acknowledge these liabilities, while obviously aware of them, because they are dumping them on purpose.Second, if the property has a high risk issue then make attempts to due process notify the debtor or the heirs. 

Like anything, the start is the most difficult steps in any process.  

Make sure it explicitly explains the process for termination if you are unhappy with their services, but especially if they violate the terms of your agreement.3.

It's possible the engineer is agreeing to take on the ENTIRE development process and manage the entire development of the project but that would need to be clearly defined in the roles and responsibilities of the development partnership. 

When I first started I purchased them and when it came time to use it the process was a nightmare.

Strong property management and careful tenant placement also play a critical role in success here, so I recommend partnering with a turnkey company or an agent who specializes in these areas to make the process smoother.As for rental demand, homes that sit for extended periods are often the result of issues like pricing, condition, or tenant quality—not necessarily a reflection of the market as a whole.

But before this purchase I informed well, and I found a lot of useful information here: https://www.a1autotransport.com/auto-transport-financing/ related to shipping, how the whole process is going, etc.

I plan on going to the Queens auction this upcoming Friday.

They'll be your guide through the process and you'll have no issues.And since we're talking international here's a big shout out to @CoffeeSlutGuam - the most uniquely named coffee bar on the Island of Guam.
