Somebody could gift it to a wholesaler or previous buyer for a dollar and if the property is worth millions dollars in ARV and you get it for 70% of ARV minus your repair costs, then you should pay for it what it's worth.

My non-paying tenant finally got evicted by the sheriff yesterday and I am looking at advice to rehab and keep or rehab and sell.

Have you had luck finding a VA that takes on a variety of clients (maybe handling 8 clients and giving each 1 hour per day type of scenario). 

@Sean LeonardLotsOf scammers in tax liensFor pennsylvania make sure to understand upset sale vs judicial sale.Don’t want to buy an upset sale thinking getting property only to have to still pay the mortgage lender

By the time you’re paying those inflated rates you should already have 10 golden ticket loans.

Oh well, but I have the resource to keep moving forward and I have about 25 guys, so my client is covered.

If you find a new tenant, prorate any fees they pay you so you are not collecting 2 rents on the same day. 

You said you live in the house, so if it is for personal use only, that might play into the decision, and/or if you have a lot of room in the deal financially and have enough to pay for the higher priced, possibly better GC, that might be part of the decision also.In my experience, higher price doesn't always mean "better," but may mean more attentive and experienced and more and/or better resources (like better sub's, etc). 

We use a YTD paystub and last year’s W-2(s) to calculate income several different ways:Hourly or salary income calculated to a monthly amountYTD income divided by number of YTD monthsYTD + W-2(s) income divided by the corresponding number of monthsIf these numbers vary too much, then we investigate and require an acceptable Letter of Explanation.Employment StabilityUnless an applicant has exceptional credit, we strive to determine their stability of employment to make sure they’ll always be able to pay the rent on time.

I have clients in FL that are always looking for great attorney.
