You'll be competing in an environment where the difference between winning or losing a deal may the terms on the contract.  

working around peoples prized possessions is anything but fun and will cost you a lot more. trust me ...you do not want to live in a rehab ...your lungs were not supplied with filters you change every so often...  

Hey Guess i know this reply is couple months behind you but i watched the whole webinar about 3 times and where is my free stuff basically door prizes?

Cash is king - cash deals will win (except when there are multiple cash offers). 

@davidkrulac @stevebabiak once we win a property at a free and clear judicial tax sale, can the homeowner get the property back?

If you make changes that result in a win-win, then it is likely you will be able to garner support and mutual agreement.

So if he files a quiet title suit and wins, he would have ownership of 95% interest in the property.

But, you may win relative to being a human being. 

This property is located in a very desirable area of Conejo Valley, with an award-winning school district.

Whatever will win with reasonable profit = $5k wholesale profit + 20% rehabber profit margin + all other costs listed above.
