Hello BiggerPockets,Have been trying to purchase a forecloused home on my block.  

I manage for 40 different owners and if one person is late, it throws off the entire process and is a pain.

It is built on a concrete slab, has concrete block walls, and a flat concrete roof.  

This is my first time around the block so I can use as much guidance as possible.

I learned about B-more's block by block nature & to be shrewd in my dealing w tenants & contractors.

The painfully obvious solution: go get your license.  

The condition of these old homes seemed to be very scattered, single blocks having completely unlivable homes, to homes that have been remodeled one or more times through the years, all the way to much newer brick built with slab foundation.  

This is my first time around the block so I can use as much guidance as possible.

It was a bit of a pain in the *** but that was more due to having a tenant in that could care less about being there when they agreed to be, allowing the management company take point and having a repair company that missed a few things a few times (I thought being a hands off landlord was possible, it didn't work for me). 

As an HOA manager I would say that any terms that make it a pain in the *** to deal with this particular mortgage (ie: lots of oversight) would be a general deterant.
