build a fence & also skiptrace the owner of the dilapidated property and see if you can buy it!

I am a financial advisor that specializes in working with business owners and real estate investors.

If judge denys, my question is if the previous owner does not claim the surplus money can it go to the 1st morgage so that when I do try and negotiate it will already include the winning bid amount? 

Think a bit like a boutique hotel owner.
