Saw you post title and it caught my eye.  

It is very expensive and time consuming to go to court for both parties involved in a claim.No legal advice given.

Because of the very long process involved in the pre-sale, and the fact that post-sale challenges must have good cause, post-sale challenges rarely happen.Also, at least with the tax sales I'm familiar with, you need a check in the amount you are willing to pay for that property on the day of the tax sale. 

If so, would you mind explaining the steps that were involved that would differ from a residential Brrrr?

Who is it that has 6 months of time and effort involved in the scenario above?

My visits in San Francisco and Washington DC last year have definitley opened my eyes to what expensive real estate can look like, even smaller homes that are far from luxurious.

Overall this is not a deal I would involve myself in. 

First, our direct involvement in the local real estate community helps us identify well-located properties that we think we can improve through better management, new capital or better marketing.

Eviction is your only choice....no matter how hard it may be or the cost involved....unless you can get cash for keys to work.A good eviction attorney doesn't really need to be close to the property at all.

So generally speaking, look at expenses as % of Gross Income with an eye for outliers based on average cost per door.
