I am seeking information regarding the Sheriffs auction in Cuyahoga county. 

It has sat empty for the last 20 years but the current owners have completely gutted it, have bids from contractors they're willing to share, cost estimates etc. and have had lots of inspections done and so much pre-work with the city and county to figure out what they can and can't do, so a solid plan is already in place.
