Thanks Dustin And thank you for your comments and insights here - I haven’t seen the prior inspection report yet but I will need to see it to check it all off before I feel comfortable proceeding and closing.

I tell them that I don’t do it and will proceed with the eviction and make sure it shows up on their record.

A PMC needs to proactively push these tenants to pay or aggressively start eviction proceedings.

Another rule is that you can't get posession of the net proceeds which must be held by an intermediary, who is not related to you, not your attorney, not your accountant, and not a business associate of yours.I talked about Section 1031 on Bigger Pockets Podcast #82  

Any homeowner offered these types of programs associated with allowing homeowners to upgrade their homes with solar or any type of energy conversation improvements with no money down should proceed with caution.  

In the past I have sold the property  back to the original owner once they realized that it had been sold to me.One last thing: it is possible to clear the title via a court proceeding, but it is slow and expensive so make sure it is worth it if you go this route.

Each one tells me that they are looking to tap into equity while values are still high and many of them are sitting on the sidelines with their cash out proceeds waiting for good deals to start popping up. 

Not sure what market you are in but if its in an expensive market you will need a really high income to proceed.

We proceeded to do a live-in flip and invest heavily in Detroit real estate.

If rent is not received when normally due, then eviction proceedings will commence.
