I have an additional two years to decide if I want to sue my Buyer for breach of agreement.Sure, the Seller could have found a deal that paid them more (oh wait, they had the house on the market for 9 months * NINE MONTHS and couldn’t sell the thing), so they took my deal.I had given the Seller $10 for a down.

Kind of like someone who is self employed needing to wait 2 years before conventional financing is viable.

Are you worrying about a few thousand dollars that will make you tens of thousands or more over the life of investment?

But if you wait for the court's public auction sale, you'll need 100% of the cash or you can use OPC (other people's cash) ahead of time.

Not much you can do here but sit and wait. 

Can't  wait to get my feet wet in MD and look forward to hopefully working with some like-minded investors in the area!!

Homes where people have paid thousands in rehab where nothing was done.Situations where the owners have been receiving $700 in rent each month, but the lease with the actual tenant is much less. $450 in one case.

I can't wait for you to get started. 

In other words, what if you knew as an investor, instead of putting your money into rental property where you make a 10-13% return on investment, say $1000 monthly on a rental property from an investment of $100,000 purchase, you could make thousands more within 3-4 months and just buy the property and the contractor ends up paying for materials costs and labour from their own pocket thereafter and you simply wait for the final proceeds once the rehab is complete? 

If you wait a year you’ll be in the lower capital gains tax bracket.
