I am seeing several auctions and there is plenty of equity 50% or so) to make it a decent deal.my question is, for example HOA lien is 10k,  1st mortgage balance 100k   ARV 210kThis could get bid up to 110k or so, Does the trustee pay off the 1st (or applies excess above the 10k to the 1st)? 

I'm curious what your thoughts are what is a good number to look at for a decent return in the large scale.

2) there will be a decent amount of money owed for the arrears on the loan to bring it current, to avoid foreclosure.

If they're decent tenants, I'll also incentivize them by letting them leave without cleaning and still get a full refund of their deposit immediately after confirmation there's no damage.2.

The rents are super low in the other two units and I was thinking of moving them out, but because if is so difficult to evict right now I am thinking of giving them a shot.

Until you have a decent sized porfolio, I recommend sticking to one or two niche specific markets.

I've assumed the electrical and plumbing systems are in decent shape, but I understand those could be huge wildcards if that ends up not being the case.

This is a single family home in sub decent neighborhood.

I am interested in the Rockford, IL area for the low prices and decent rental rates.
