The only way you'd get a real answer is to go thru the short sale process again.....listed property, executed sales contract, short sale package along with financials submitted by the owner, etc.  

The document can be found under "Tools" - "File Place" and a screenshot is below for ease of navigating to the proper document.

But If the heirs are happy campers the court will give the PR full authority to execute their job to sell assets and pay debts.

If its thru a realitor you have to go thru proper channels. make an offer that allows both inspection and financial outs. try to get them as long as possible- say 30-60 days minimum.Once you control the deal- you can do your due diligence to see if it really is a good deal.

If it is hung properly, it will last just as long as anything...metal has to be externally insulated too. 

the proper term might be wood floors. 

Along with that, you have liability issues that you can be exposed to if you don't properly hire, document, and pay contractors.  

Edited to add- If the property is not being sold by the Trustee but by a lien holder, the property may have been removed from the bankruptcy through a "motion to abandon" which just means there is nothing for the bankruptcy to get from the property so the creditor can proceed with executing its rights against the property. 

I did already take some action by finding a cash buyer , but I need to get some info on things like how to properly figure out the repair costs, what I do step by step when I find a good deal , how to know how much I sell the contract for , etc.

For your first rental, I would stay out of the Tree streets or French Hill, if you are buying in Nashua proper.
