On the government side, I purchased properties having the powers of condemnation and eminent domain.You'll also find that building reg types, fire marshals and other government officials can apply "selective enforcement" just as a cop doesn't give a speeding ticket to the old guy in the truck following the young blonde in the red sports car ahead of him who does get a ticket.

In a sheriff sale, only the attorney representing the lender will have that info prior to the sale, and even then they sometimes don't get bidding instructions from the lender with much time ahead of the sale.

We are 6 months away from this purchase so I'm getting a head start.

Then workout the profit.These are just the basics to see if you want to move ahead.1. income per mouth2. expenses, taxes, mortgage, insurance, vacancy rate, repairs, ect...3. cost, rehab, property price, back taxes, liens, ect...4. rehab value 5. profitGood luck

Just as a heads up, I would not trust the posts written by @Jack Benimble. 

Unless your HM loan rate is less than the conventional loan you'd still be ahead of the game by refi'ing.

Go ahead and do it man. nobody is topping you but you.

I had a conversation with my friend who ran into 2 people at Noteworthy east who are now in his mastermind group and they now are 6 months ahead of us.

And maybe just give them a call to give them a heads up.Good luck.  

If you do, then just go ahead and file.
