Could I possibly go straight to the attorney to settle the debt and take ownership prior to the auction?

Ignore the FHA / House hacking and go straight for a BRRRR dealWith my GC skills, good credit, and being in a high cost area, the BRRR strategy seems like a great fit for the city.

@Mitchell J. this is actually a pretty simple question, but you want to go straight to a real estate attorney.

Or is there a way that I could not use the HELOC and get straight into it?

I tell them straight up if they don't want it, I probably have another investor that does. 

I signed a none disclosure agreement already that seemed pretty straight forward and basic.He definitely talks the talk and walks the walk of someone that has a understanding of RE.

of course, understand that nothing is as straight forward , but just want to get a basic idea about the risk involved. 

I’m only 17 years old I’ll be 18 in 6 months I have about $22,000 saved I wanna get straight into rental properties .

Ultimately it would be on him whether he wanted to move forward with the deal or not so I was glad he was getting the info straight from the city and that I didn’t have to take on the time and liability of relaying all that info to him from them. 

So I went straight to RAP and told them what was going on.
