If the investment and value that contractor provides is worth the premium, then it is a win win.

OR - Since after winning the second I am now the owner of the property (and it has equity), if I allow it to simply go to auction and the bid is higher than the first, will I get the overpayment (or will the original borrower?)

James Lee, just strive to always make it a goal to make every transaction a win-win-win situation for you, the seller, and the buyer.

Win / win with a new income stream and lower landlord utility expenses.If you can use the tax credits the solar carport avenue has an enormous return on investment if you can charge a decent rent for covered parking.

That type of thinking only leads to conflict and no one really wins.

If I bid on that one and win does that give me the right to pay off the primary mortgage before it goes to auction.

My way of wholesaling, the seller will win twice, option money and a quick sell.

What you talked is exactly what our professor emphasized.

As I run my rentals like a business, generally I don't think it makes financial sense to take a tenant to court to sue for these costs as most times when something like this happens, they don't exactly leave a forwarding address to deliver the notice in the first place in addition to the fact that after I pay the management company to take them to court (or my attorney to sue), even if i "win" they are not going to have money to pay it - blood from a stone.

Would also like to be included in any meetup... help create a win-win for each other.
