Any outstanding balance after that draw period will be need to pay principal and interest till it’s fully paid off.

Also.I'm sure you realize a Lien is a Debt and that (house) on that property can't be sold until that is satisfied, at time of sale or before so it's a outstanding debt. 2 dilapidated houses are how bad ??

Outstanding liens, fines, mortgages, taxes?
