pro's - you could make moneycon's - you could lose money...in the same way you could win or lose with ANY speculative investment.

You win either way - while I live there, I'll improve the place and take care of all maintenance from both tenants.  

It’s almost like a divorce.One famous case of former partners fighting was Facebook founders Mark Zuckerberg and Eduardo Saverin in court.

Both are happy for the repeat business as I do what I can to make their job easy and make it a win win for both he and I.

I'm not trying to be stupid, I just want to do this right so the thing is a win for all involved. should I stay in and work with tb to do credit repair and work/ refer to a mortgage broker so that at the end of option period they have a good chance of actually purchasing sellers home?

When I win the Powerball tonight, I'll be sure to post my real estate success story here!  

Either way, it's a win-win for you.

I make a little less but create win/win long term relationships.

The interest. which is simple not compound, accrues over time based on your winning bid for that certificate.  

Any insight could be helpful.Well, you  might want to ask the winning bidder at the HOA's foreclosure auction if they are prepared to cure any delinquency and make payments on the senior liens: 1st mortgage, 2nd lien, etc., if any.
