So I was looking to position myself differently.I understand that that’s super risky in this case so I’m reevaluating my choices.

@Casey Barry  Congratulation on winning two tax deeds in one auction.There are two choices that you can make in your situation. 1) do you think the owner will redeem.

I think if you can write a solid letter of explanation stating that you are going to commute to Colorado from Washington for 4-5 months out of the year for your job (and why), that should be sufficient enough to run this as a primary residence. 

Personally, if you have other applicants, she would not be my first choice.

If you don't know what you're expecting to get out of any program, class, seminar, employment choice (Subto, BP, Tony Robbins, etc.) you'll never get your monies worth. 

Plus, we’ve given $1,000 to a charity of choice for every Missional share purchased!

There can be particular laws or costs in some places when it comes to putting properties under an LLC.Examine Financing Options: Look into financing choices for properties held by LLCs.

So, at this point, based on your experience can I serve them a Notice to Vacate next if they don't pay or do I start afresh with another Notice to Pay or going for either one (Notice to Pay/Vacate) is my choice?

What factors are influencing these choices?

I hope you have verified that there will be sufficient equity and that you'll be able to qualify (either DSCR or Conv) for a takeout loan or cashout refi for the hard money.
