I am a newbie so I'm hoping someone with experience will verify or correct my response - the little of the MD foreclosure law/process that I understand on the surface is that as an investor you can work with a buyer as long as they are no more than 30 days behind on a payment w/o having to involve an RE agent.

hello;the deal from the surface looks good if you are looking at it from an equity standpoint. the key here is to know ALL costs before you sign away. with missing numbers from your plumber/Eletrician, you cannot make an informed decision. i suggest you get that asap to input all the known numbers and then make a decision. you don't want to find out later that the costs are high and that you end up buying a break even deal. because the positive cash flow on this unit is very low already, you don't want the equity to drop with costs you don't know about yet per the work that needs to be done to bring it up to par for rental.Sincerely,-vinh
