You've set up a scenario and proposed an action plan that's not very practical.What you're discussing is trespassing, enter and illegally possessing a property and renting it to a third party.What are you going to do when the owner returns?

We need to go through a quiet title action, and get it done before August (tax sale date).I don't think this part will be an issue, but the problem is the seller cannot afford to pay the attorney fees to get the quiet title.

Going for condos, SFH, and duplex / triplex.Immediate plan of action for the next 3 months:1.

With that said well done pulling the trigger to take action on this deal.The advice I have for you is based on me selling mobile homes to end-users for payments, cash, and bank financing.

For the past 10 years I always wanted to do a rehab and thought about it a lot; but never took serious action.

I was wondering what is the right course of action: first sign the contract, get the appraisal and then the inspector, or should i use a different order ?

You will be surprised at the response you get from people that are in the same boat as you and might be nervous to take those actionable steps.

But I have calmed down and and know I need sound processes and plan of action in place.

How does "in order to get a great deal you must take action promptly".

We all know taking action is the most important part of any investment/business venture.However taking the first step is often the hardest when you do not know what road to travel down.
