@Wayne Brooks I never said I'm not buying, at the end of the day a sale has to occur, either from me or from a buyer that I'll put on place, if not the seller will loose the house in forclosure; what I'm saying is that I'll not offer buy the house I'll offer HELP them(save the house from going forclosure, preserve their credit, etc) and that there's nothing wrong with "offering to help" like you stated in your previous post.

Hello Laurie,   My husband and I do property preservation in Pinellas County and looking to get involved in flips and investing as well.  

Unions, concerned with job preservation in companies they helped to bankrupt through wage extortion, helped get reorganization legislation added to the bankruptcy code, allowing companies to continue operating (and employees continue working), while creditors were shafted with court approved cram downs, essentially allowing courts to approve creditor payments in reorganization less than they would get in liquidation.Consumer advocates, not happy with just the original purpose of bankruptcy, were able to pass various revisions, which resulted in individuals being able to obtain hugh amounts of debt for consumer goods and living expenses, and turn around and discharge those debts in bankruptcy, no matter how high their income.  

What's the best way to deal with the paint and still preserve the wood?
