If the property doesn't appraise that high, you will have to lower your loan amount and won't be able to get back all of the cash that you invested. 

Call the Treasurer's office this week and give them that Tax Lien Certificate ID in your images you've posted and go from there.

Perhaps I’m missing something in the equation, but I was thinking that a mobile home would be easier to flip in a market like Minneapolis where prices are high and where flipping regular homes is very tough.

In a high-priced market like Denver and Colorado Springs here (or San Diego where you're at), there are plenty of people who find a whole apartment rent unattainable and will rent a room. 

@Dan BeckerMany times in high value areas, the tax liability isn't nearly as high as some would lead you to believe...Anyway, to you question:  no, there really isnt a great way for you to get the property and get the step up in basis.Honestly, your question doesn't make sense:  "Is there any creative deal structure that can be used so that I can buy and occupy the home including the assumed improvements, repairs and maintenance, while allowing the seller to preserve the step-up tax shield for their descendants?"

In my opinion, staying highly organized and building systems/processes is the most viable part of dropshipping.

But $3200 was a bit high for me and messed up my numbers when analyzing. 

If you want a high occupancy rate, we could easily be in the 90% range here in Columbus (with lower prices).

I highly recommend you to learn as much as you can via their recorded videos and/or live event.
