If you buy a pre foreclsosure and sell it within a few years you owe the owners who sold it to you 70 or 80% of whatever you made.. thats why I no longer do foreclosure rescue.. it just takes one person to file a complaint with the AG in states where this is highly regulated and it becomes a very stressful for you.

Consider working with a lender to get pre-approved for financing, as that will give you an idea of your buying power.

If it was 2019 (pre-COVID before people moved out of S.F. for the suburbs and OOS) I think it would have multiple offers over asking immediately. 

You can also look at converting funds from pre-tax, to Roth IRA accounts, thus paying taxes on the seed so you don't have to pay taxes on gains/growth.

As for cost, I'd guess it's a few hours of time pre-trial and a couple of hours in court (usually billed higher than office time).

My questions are:- When a property is in pre-foreclosure, would you expect the bank to redeem?  

We live in the greater Seattle area, WA, and just got pre-approved for a loan.

Do you have a pre-approval or cash ready?

.- Is there a kind of person who could help me with pre-sale improvements (roughly saying, to tell me what is worth replacing, improving, etc and what is not,1 to make the house more attractive for the buyer)?
