The 1st step before even thinking real estate acquisition at the auction is to talk to a lawyer and read the statue. 

You would have to work out with the GC what you wanted to do yourself, and see if that works for both of you.Here is the Florida statue that discusses the GC requirements. http://www.flsenate.gov/Laws/Statutes/2010/489.103As for the drawings, have you thought about buying pre-made plans?

Unfortunately the only way to obtain clear title would be for it to be paid off, quiet title action (which would notify the lien holders and if none responded you would get clear title, get the title company to make an exception of some sort (rare) OR wait five years because the statue of limitations on judgments in New Jersey is 20 years.

I looked up marble but those are like ~$20 sqft total.  

It is newly renovated, new kitchen with marble tops and appliances and flooring and fresh paint.

This is specifically true for marbles and wood flooring.

One way to keep housing affordable is to avoid doing the over the top Marble-and-Glass-mosaic-tile-everywhere flip.

Furthermore, the Statue of Frauds needs everything in writing and signed by both parties, making the star of the show to be the Contract of Sale.I can make 20 different offers at the same time, letting the Listing Agents know that I am submitting multiple bids.

I posted this in my local section as it has to do with state statute but I figured I'd also post it on the main board.We own a condo in AZ and have received a letter from a law firm stating that a person is buying 80%+ of the condo complex and under Arizona Revised Statue 12-1228 we will be forced to sell our condo to them.
