The property’s ARV is between 133-141k single family home with me setting out to view the property on Monday for a repair estimate.

In Charlotte, I usually pay around $600 for a $150k house down to $450 for a $50k house.Do your due diligence on getting ballpark numbers, but don't sweat getting exact estimates on every property. 

Probably not because it would be extremely hard to prove and not worth the time and effort so then it becomes more of a moral question for you.If I were weighing whether or not to stay in and bought a house because there was a relatively good chance that I would, then I would not lose sleep if my plans changed and I wound up getting out and moving before my year was up.

If you are confident in your estimate of FMV, start your foreclosure immediately!

This includes marketing, negotiating, and estimating repair cost.

How can you estimate how low of an offer the bank will accept or deny ?
