During the first 2 weeks of the rehab, during planing and clean up, we will continue to market the property to investors in order to keep our options open.

And once you buy the property, you usually still have to complete a quiet title as the tax foreclosure usually does not clean up all the liens and issues.  

I depleted most of the money I had on reserve from the cash out and had to take out loans against my retirement accounts to pay the mortgage and the needed repairs to make the building habitable. 

You're then the obvious choice to be first in line to deal with the house, even if it mean you've gotta buy the darn thing so you don't have to look at it and clean up what blows over on to your yard.

I’m probably crasser than most people on here, so I’ll try and clean up my language to speak on the more professional side of things.Have a good one :)

In an effort to clean up the park I bought them ought as possible. 

I would actually just do the cosmetic cleanup and rent the house out.

Some things look really bad on the surface but are easy cleanup.  

We only have to wait to close until rehab is complete or 30 days has passed on title.Our strengths are for buy and hold, 30 year term, aggressive rates, speed of closing(20 business days), only 30 days seasoning on title, no sourcing or seasoning on funds for closing, 75% LTV on purchase or refi, close under personal or business for title, and blanket loans for 3-9 properties per loan (helps clean up borrowers bureau as we do not report to credit/ raises LTV, consolidates payments).

If this discussion was had up front and the seller disagreed, I would have at least factored sh*t going wrong (eviction, clean-up, etc) into my purchase price.
