You could make repairs at your risk, but you can't covey with a general warranty deed as the notice to redeem the property places a cloud on title.In some states, even after you take possession of collateral and sell the collateral, additional amounts over your costs may again go back to the borrower and they can sue you for it.A security agreement is not the keys to the house, it represents a way for you to get the amount of money you are entitled to and excess equity is due the owner (borrower).If the property after foreclosure sale sells for less than the bid amount, the lender may seek a deficiency judgment to collect amounts remaining due, if it was a cash loan, if the loan proceeds were made as an amount of equity based on a particular sale price, it is an installment sale and receiving the property back terminates the sale.

How much do you charge to install a fixture?  

I would budget $6k for a small house.What they will need to do is break up about 18" of the floor around the entire perimeter, install perforated pvc piping pitched to a corner that has a sump pit and box.  

Because you will now be rebuilding your credit with a secured credit card account and an "Installment" loan secured by the CD and best part is NO $425 payment.6.  

Can't install plugins on oncarrot Wordpress but everything is pretty much built in.

If done correctly (with windows, nice stone finish material, etc), it could be an architectural asset as well.With some proper professional landscaping (maybe also cut out a planter along the side of house), and addressing the driveway issues, that should eliminate the aesthetic liabilities and give you an amazing amount of curb appeal.There are other possibilities for completely redesigning the approach to the entry (straight off the front with a right-angle landing and a gabled portico), but would involve a lot more demo-ing, building, and expense.Similar to this:http://www.houzz.com/photos/17493/Becker-Architect...

The upstairs bedrooms will be carpeted and the kitchen and bathrooms will be tile.We are removing the baseboard, boiler fed heat and installing a new dual fuel heat pump complete with ducting and multiple zone controls. 

The tile on my own home is probably about an inch thick and made of concrete so I doubt any hail would damage it and there much less chance wind will blow it off as opposed to light asphalt shingles.If I decide to move there I will be installing tile on my roof, I did see some houses there with tile but most of them were million dollar plus homes.

I think though am not sure that you can seal solid wood better than you can engineered as far as pouring two coats of poly on it after installation.

You can put cameras at the gate you install.
