I thought I was getting an amazing deal but what I'm ending up with is; essentially locked into closing on house where everyone expected the current tenant to leave cooperatively however, he is now planning to stay indefinitely without paying rent until getting evicted.

I recently gave up and accepted I wouldn't be able to get it uploaded.

Some of these cheaper vacant land properties get bid up 700-800% over the lien amount because there was a decent chance you could get the property .

@Nicole Heasley do you know of any in Las Vegas that are coming up ?

You open yourself up to some major trouble if you don't.Example 1: 26-year-old female applies.

My favorite method: a chunk upfront, smaller chunks as they go, and the final 10-20% after the work is approved by you.

As long as it makes sense that you are "moving up" it's good.

In terms of the realtor's preferred lender, that's up to your discretion.
