@Paul David a little late to the party but hard money or private money (family member or friend).

I leave Tues afternoon.

This rate varies widely by lender, but those are the rates we're seeing lately.3.

Haha, I wish I had started with mindset from the beginning but better late than never

@Joseph Adelman thanks for the mention of the meetup.com groupI'm jumping in there late.

There are 8 units that are late 70s, 80s and 90s. 

You can win an auction bid in the morning and show up at the house with a locksmith in the afternoon to take possession (if it's vacant). - In case of a senior lien foreclosure, the auction sale will wipe out various junior liens (mortgages, judgements or mechanics liens, etc) in the process.

If you can dump it in mid-late July for a good price - sell it!!

@Scott MeyersSorry for the late response, thank you for the insight.

Haven't found any HUD houses lately worth bidding on.
