Hi,I've seen a number of discussions about staging but am trying to get some input on a reasonable cost to expect.  

This will be my second auction that I will be attending, so I am still in the observing/learning stage, but would be interested in meeting other BP members to network and learn a tip or two at these auctions.  

4) At what stage of the foreclosure process is it in?

I'm at the stage where I need to build a financial power team.

I basically have a 3 stage EMD where one half of the EMD is paid after DD is complete and the other half is paid after financing is approved out of underwriting and it goes hard the day after that payment is made.

As for 3rd party property management in the Twin Cities, I have a couple contacts for you when you get to that stage, so feel free to message me for more details.

Yes this is the only bank we have approached but are now locked in since we are in the final stages of approval and they just sprung this on us.

(or both :)I'm in the beginning stages of RE investing and want to set things up as strategically as possible on the front end.

And let me say for the record, I've been looking for case law on this very point for quite some time after stating my distaste for the idea that a licensing authority can limit a person's ability to act as POA for the purpose of selling a property, and I have found nothing in any of the Circuits.What I would tell Clients, were I in a draconian jurisdiction that practiced such things, is the cost of going through the appellate process, likelihood of succeeding at the appellate stage, and a breakdown, like you said, of whether it is worth pursuing.

@Ned Carey I have noticed homes in various stages from abandoned homes to rehabs.
