And often, the "winning bidder" doesn't get the property, they just get to negotiate further with the bank since the undisclosed reserve was higher than the winning bid.

It's win/win/win.

I see this as a win/win/win situation.  

Glen Stone - Most likely you bought into the Russ Dalbey, Winning in the Cashflow Business program off a late night infomercial.

The assessment of the deal, not the management but the skill of making a winning deal.

I don't know what it would cost, but it's not highly skilled work, so you should be able to be done on the cheap.Gardeners may be interested in using the guano as fertilizer, so this could be a win/win.

This was also due to seeing these in the trash and in to the landfill, yet here I was using these same products cleaning units, so a win/win for me and the environment.

To me it's a win-win situation for everyone.

Not having money to investigate further will not win their case in court.Having said that if there was an item not generally seen from basic examination that the seller was trying to cover up and not disclose that was discovered later after purchase the buyer might have recourse against the seller.Basically do not cut corners on rehab and keep great pictures and records, permits, etc. as proof the work was completed correctly.

Fortunately for experienced investors, who understand to buy/sell against this type of trend, (as Charlie Sheen likes to say...) we'll be....WINNING!!!
