Maybe you can convince those relatives to get the tenant to write you a note that he's turning the property back over to you and that they will move his stuff into storage.

I'd take a hard look at some of these niches because of concepts around scale and higher cash flow per unit concepts that can me managed / outsourced to experts and you can generate solid cash flow:  large MF apartments, mobile home parks, storage facilities, and student housing. 

Other lenders are more foreclosure-happy and would rather start the foreclosure process than to give you a couple of days for the refinance to go through.If you need a loan for anything, whether it's new construction, transactional funding, short or long-term buy-and-hold, SBA, self-storage, adult family, parking garages, etc, I can probably help you find a lender.

I'd start fresh and advertise for new tenants.

You have to pay the Sheriff for the siezure and storage and it is really dumb to try this.

Specifically, Ive been looking into storage unit facilities, but from what Ive seen on the market so far the prices are little steep for what I can currently afford!

I'm newer to the game, but all of those first time questions are fresh in my head!

There was a fresh coat of paint inside and out in the past couple years.

I've looked at these areas as well and both of us being fresh RE investors here's my take - for the first couple flips/rentals I plan to do I want them to be easy "base hits" and I'm not looking to get a triple play or home run deals until I get my feet wet at least.  

We're finally doing some heavy lifting at this property so I'll post some fresh pics as we complete the renovations.The attached privy, as beloved as it has become, did not survive the renovation plan.
