It is a solid opportunity to secure the property and implement a strategy to either add value and reposition, cash flow, or both.

Sorting through all of these options and the timelines for implementation now. 

The VA has stricter finance criteria than some loan programs which may prevent you buying as much of a "project" as you want.

However, if the County implements the ban or modifies the minimum length of stay I don't think you have a case.

Depending on the situation, we will pay the taxes right away to prevent further penalties and fees or we'll leave them for the next guy if we intend to sell at the FC sale.I don't have experience for your type of deal i.e. where the taxes owed are almost equal to market value.

If done properly, your screening will weed out anyone attempting to commit fraud.I use a "sight unseen" clause to prevent problems:American West Realty does our best to adequately describe our rental units to you.

As a landlord you have no legal right to prevent someone from entering your property that is/was a tenant.

You cannot sue him and force him to give it back, you have "unclean hands"  It prevents you from suing because you were committing a fraud and cannot ask the courts help to protect an illegal act. 

Is it essentially just the prevention of being penalized if I were to refi from that originating loan?

I wanted to know if there were any strategies, even some op manuals anyone can offer to finding motivated sellers and also cash buyers so I can implement in addition to the things I already know.
