I presume they felt the work was acceptable and now it is considered permitted.  

Just evaluate one property at a time and decide if it makes sense given your market, risk tolerance, future plans, etc.One point you might be overlooking (not sure if it was covered in the podcast) is that for those us of using Fannie's delayed financing exception rule, the CO-refi amount is limited to whatever the initial investment was, which should be well below 75% of the appraised value presuming low acquisition cost and successful rehab. 

They swap them out and take them off-site (home, presumably) to clean.

Presumably has an idea of what it should go for, but it was on the market for 2 months almost, and she lowered the price from 220 to 210.  

@Brian BradleyThere was mention of having an out of state entity own an LLC in state, presumably (my inference) with that out of state location being more friendly from an AP perspective. 

Considering the owner hasn't paid taxes in several years, he probably won't bother with a legal battle.I missed that little tidbit (foreclosed) in the description.Interesting that our poster's attorney is not thinking along those lines, or it would seem.Anyway, if that is the case, those junior judgment liens would presumably have been wiped out by the foreclosure.

The contract is presumably assignable unless stated OTHERWISE.

There would be fellow women around and also a boss, which may be a girl or guy and presumably a "bouncer" or some kind of security.

Once you have a ratified contract, presuming properly written, you have what you need
