Hey James, sounds like you potentially have a great source for deals. 

I've heard from some of my sources that the owner made renovations to the condo and those costs may be attached to the property.I basically DO NOT want to get burned with this purchase so I'm trying to find out as much information as I possibly can BEFORE bidding at the auction.

Upon payoff of a loan, an LOC would be opened just as a backup source of liquidity.My question is at what percentage do I draw my line?

It's really about your level of risk tolerance, and your ability to raise capital from other sources.

I know this website is a great source for connecting people but I wanted to ask how did you get involved with this business?

Plumbed with macerator to connect to main-house plumbing.Kitchen- framing to finished again plumbed to the macerator.Large master bedroom with walk-in closet- framing to finishAll electricalIn-wall heaters in both bedroom and bathroom (The only source of heat was the existing pellet stove down-stairs in living-room) Upgraded heating to MiniSplit system upper and lower level NOV 2019 What was the outcome?

Another option is researching homes on list source or another provider to locate properties that meet your criteria and reaching out to them directly.

My failed expectation of safety is rooted in the frequent early morning visitors often get the wrong house on the first try, theoretically allowing for a dope head to walk into my house at any hour, the fact that the son is still at large and we could be raided by the State Police again at any moment, and the fact that the secluded nature of the area makes our side of the property easily surveilled by the other side - which is not optimal when my wife is home alone.My landlord is now seeking damages for the lost rent and has served me with an eviction notice. 

Personally I'm very conservative and look at 100+ deals a month across all sources and may end up investing in maybe 4 or 5 at the end of the year total.
