I lucked up and found out a friend of my family lives 9 mins away from my property who was happy to make extra income. 

The solution from Hostaway was to wait for the next onboarding call and they would add some extra time, which was not helpful for about a week. 

I would love to hear from you folks here as to what I should look out for and any gotchas or any other resources you could point towards me.Thanks.

In PA this does not go to an overage fund or surplus proceeds fund.. instead.. in an upset sale any amount bid over the minimum starting bid in the Upset Sale will be applied to liens against the property in order of position… since the min bid includes all municipal, back taxes and county liens.. then would it be correct to stated that this extra 10k would go toward the remaining Morgage amount (if applicable) IRS liens, cigarette and sales tax liens etc..? 

However, what extra steps do i need to take to make sure she will do as she says?  

This is a lot of info for the money in my opinion.)However, there are still a lot of folks I can't find and I am thinking about using a skip tracing service.

On many of our web sites there will also be calculators to help you determine what your tax liability would be.There are a number of folks like us right here on BP who are qualified intermediaries. 

I would suggest taking a look at folks providing value in the tax forum! 

I just wanted to get some extra details to make sure I'm relaying the information correctly.

This is also why you had strategic foreclosures during the GFC out west.. folks upside down they know they can just walk with only credit dinged.. so they live for free as long as they can then move on ..
