House needs some Interior Cosmetic Work, Wood Fence Repairs and some Plumbing Work.I want to turn and run, but I recently heard where there is a Problem, there is Opportunity.I thought this might be an interesting Case Study.Thanks for the Ideas.If they owe $180k on a $210k property and its a year+ behind then they probably owe taxes and other bills as well.

Because you are forcing equity into the house you are sometimes able to pull back out the entire purchase and rehab process to return to your investor then you own the home with just the mortgage.

I don't think the future will be kind to the investors who bought cheap houses in a big community of other investors. 

This is a fine example of where to research out of state investments as the housing prices to purchase are still reasonable and low (not like California where I am and entry level house SFR is a million dollars). 

I have the option to buy a 1,300-sqft 3-bed, 1.5-bath house in South End neighborhood of Stamford, CT, from a family member before it goes on the market.

He was also in escrow to sell the house as a busted flip, as-is.
