Thanks man.And @Denise Evans - the most educated person I've run across regarding tax deeds hands down!  

I emailed this person back and informed them, yes, we have a no pet policy.

Please feel free to share with the readers of this post when you can, my friend would like to know

Thanks for sharing @Greg Andrade!

I'd love to look up the address and let's embarrass the realtor who can't sell it as well as the builder who didn't' build it or design it efficiently enough and who lost all your money. new construction in columbus is on fire and wherever this is built is not reflective of any person we have worked with in our market. can you shed some light on the deal? 

We can try to estimate the 1st number though, based upon what you've shared - $80k equity + $26k loan balance = $106k current value.You want to spend $65k more, so adding that to current $26k loan = new loan $91k$91k / $106k current value => 86% Loan-To-ValueNo lender's going to touch that!

Happy to share some of my experiences with you about OOS investing. 

If anyone could share some of their experiences, particularly on how they went about initially approaching the occupants I would greatly appreciate it!

Thanks for sharing!

I want the repair start ASAP but can’t seems  to find  the right  person that’s honest and won’t take advantage of me  ?
