Hey @Kenny Tran - There is definitely a win-win here. 

But if the numbers work it could be a win win.One I did in portland we paid off 80k  she lived in the house for about 8 or 9 years. 

You must celebrate the wins, because you deserve it!

@Jorge Pimienta Anytime you can negotiate a seller financing deal (especially with the higher interest rate environment we're in now), that's a win for you as it'll likely end up being a good deal cheaper and costing you less out of pocket, less documentation, etc.If that's not an option, and you plan to flip the property, then you should look into hard-money loans.

Getting them to agree to pay a few months extra to move out- is a win.

I will add that even after you win the auction, there is a redemption period where they can pay you off (plus interest) and take the property back.

Trouble is, when the choice is between logic and emotion, emotion usually wins the battle, but in the end loses the war.

I want to know the extent of what we're getting into and how we can properly structure this deal in such a way where we both feel like we win and nobody builds any resentment for one another.

However, I think this is short lived and that the Feds will win out with increasing interest rates and you will see in the coming months the median house prices continue to drop.  

Huge Congrats on that win.
