Individuals? 

You don’t really have a choice.

If you are not attached to the duplex, could be a good time to sell to developers who want to convert to individual condo units.

The replacement shelves were ordered individually, I was charged the initial inspection fee to tell me the shelves were missing, the cost of the shelves plus markup by the PM, and $67 an hour to "install" the shelves. 

In normal times i would think selling is typically the smarter financial choice, but at the current time keeping may have a significant finance (due to low interest rate) advantage.Here is a list of why adding ADUs in my CA market is typically a poor RE investment:1) The value added by the ADU addition is often significantly less than the cost of adding the ADU.

So they really had no choice IMHO....Welcome to the landlord world I guess.....makes ya wonder why we do this sometimes, huh?

You better reach out to them days before the auction and give them a simple choice: allow foreclosure sale  to occur or allow you to take it over from them, with equity justifying your purchase.    

I prefer individualized service myself.
