I finally looked up the tax records and found out the owner is a private real estate investor who lives out of state now.

If the market is hot and homes are flying off the shelf over ask price with multiple offers, you should absolutely get it full exposure on the MLS and get as many offers as you can (setting a final date for offers is a good idea and does not have to be entered/set until you get your first or second offer).

They set up a semi-liquid investment fund that could provide a fare return for fund investors with a short term (90 day) ability to have investment funds returned upon request. 

Finally, beware of the fees.

After a long visa process, lockdowns, travel restrictions and more, I am finally in Minnesota and ready to start pulling the trigger on some deals (Just need to find some first :P ) Just wanted to say Hi and looking for a great area in the twin cities and surrounding towns to start looking for a cash flow heavy rental area.Anytips, advice or even food recommendations for the twin cities would be appreciated!!

We did speak to a real estate attorney and since our purchase price was about 18k over the final judgement amount for the mortgage foreclosure, the HOA is entitled to that overage.

Finally, join the local Facebook groups for Mesa neighborhoods and look at the last few years of contractor recommendations for window installations.

I don't want my 45 day/180day clock to start until tenant makes 2d (final) payment. 

Wondering if there was a structured way to make an agreement with a seller, hold it for 3-4 months during rehab after agreeing upon a price, offer some percentage above that based on sale as a carrot, maybe upside based on final price.

I also would periodically contact the tenant to see if they had any updates.... and thankfully  I finally heard that the govt will pay this tenants rent til jan 2022 - when I will actually get the money is a different story but at least the said they would pay it.
