If one party has the knowledge and time, and one party has the money, they both benefit from each other. 

The unfortunate part is that you probably don't know. 

Granted, if you are able to select your own tenants and don't have to work with inherited ones that come with the property, and you can afford to have the property managed by a third party company, things can get a little less stressful.

@Brandon Wells They don't utilize any third party like Realpage.

but I just need to let you know that I am not looking for a buying party involved with my transaction

And you thought appraisers were an independent third party didn't you!!!

I mean explaining the situation to all buyers could allow interested parties see : to get a good property giving extra $2-4K isn’t bad. 

@Evan PolaskiYeah, it’s probably the biggest issue w third party management where the landlords don’t put in money.

(might lose to some other bidder though) as honestly they do not want the property so they will take a 3rd party bidder at a reasonable price.2.

Sometimes, depending on the state and/or the investor/lender, the minimum bid or the opening bid is lower than the reserve because, absent third party interest during the sale, that opening (and final bid) is the amount used to calculate the gross deficiency on the loan.
