So if I do get the property in auction, am I not purchasing a clean title?

You might end up with a new partner.Lending your credit is risky because if there is a problem it will take 7 or so years to really clean it up.John Corey

There are many legit places to get you credit clean but your idea of a Credit partner works IF they also have Capital alone....You could form an LLC with the Credit Money partner adnyou could buy IN AFTER the loan for the property is established....If you are on the LLC as a Principle the bank May not loan to you...If you have PLENTY of Capital why do you NEED the Loan?

The family didn't even clean out the house.

I even do a pre-move-out inspection just to get an idea of what work will be needed, and to review the move-out requirements such as needing receipt for Professional carpet cleaning, all trash removed from the PROPERTY (not left at curb) and I ensure they are aware of the Holdover rate and that there will be a charge for my time if I show up at the move-out and they are not ready.It is a good idea to review all leases for their end date, and schedule an inspection of the property about 60 days ahead of that so you can determine IF you want to renew them, and at what rate.

They cut the grass, clean out the trash, sometimes quickly paint the front (front only) and then sell the property as a handyman's special.

Bernards, I'm planning on letting the tenants know that the pet deposit and cleaning deposit will be non refundable.

Is the house cleaned out after the death?
