to complicate things, there is the foreclosure itself (trustee sale) which is held auction style at the court steps etc and then once (and if the bank takes it back) there is REO auctions (like auction.com) which liquidate REO after foreclosure.depending on each state rules, the foreclosure can be halted at some point if the owner cures the default (brings the loan current). 

My goal is to pay off a small loan used to buy this investment property (BRRRR style)  and use the rest of the funds as a down payment for the next property.

On a flip, I would probably have new cabinets to begin with, so the color would just depend on the style of the house. 

I tried TRELLO, and other pipeline style management software, but they never use it and its always outdated.Anyone care to share success/failure stories on monitoring progress on contractors ?
