I have been running into for the past year homes I find vacant/abandoned, know home is a good rehab project, find out who the owner is (assessors site) plus viewed treasurer site to see who is "paying" the taxes currently and after all that work to the point I actually find this owner, the owner tells me he/she "let the home go into default" or in other words, just walked away from the home with a outstanding balance owed to the lender.Well, I have come across a home in Merrillville, IN that is a 3 bed 1.5 bath and is in a nice area of Merrillville but in need of real work; be a good wholesale if owned free and clear... took all the steps I know of and found the owner.

My concerns are keeping the home will be an endless money sink in repairs and updates instead of asset, cost more than it makes by preventing access to something like a VA loan on a better property in the future, or overly distract me learning details about the market here that won't help me in SF.The home is 2 bed 1 bath, 1200 square foot, one and a half story SFR with a garage, storage shed, fenced yard, w/d hook ups in the garage. 

For example a quick pitch might go something like "“I want to buy and rehab this single family house which is a 3 bed / 2 bath / 2 car garage split level that fits well with the majority of those in the immediate area.
