I am not aware of the buyers goal, but I doubt it would be to send the owner to foreclosure.ARV $90k-$100k.Currently owes $82.5k.$5k in repair (paint and flooring)30 yr loan has 19 years left and is he tells me it is at 2.85%.Owners all in payment is $920/month and rent is in the $1050-$1100 range.I originally set this up for a lease option, but the fact that it isn't move in ready is discouraging buyers.

You can't add in the what could have been in the balance owing in a foreclosure.

Also, how do i get information on liens, unpaid taxes, and how much is owed on the house?

I do hold my longer term but pay all the extra cash flow towards the principal to pay them down quickly. 

He owes $68K still.

You can withdrawl the principal amount with no taxes.

@Scott Avidon If the aesthetics are odd(weird layout or something), there is major highway construction coming, they owe $70K, there are $88K in liens, and it needs to be rehabbed with loose ARV's coming in at $245K, there is not much room for profit, and a lot of negatives.Let's say your ARV is off by 10% since the comps are not exactly right.

The amount owed is irrelevant, the bank will be looking for something near FMV.

I have a free and clear rental that I pulled a heloc in the amount of 18,500 I owe 7k on and the prop is worth 80k.

Pretty sure I could pull that off with what I already know and see the win/win/win in it.I just got off the phone with a pretty motivated seller that owes about what the house is worth (retail) and cant afford the repairs needed or payments on a vacant house.
