(mechanic liens, workers comp insurance, general liability insurance, entity structure, scopes of work, etc...) 

Need some repairs done and looking for any good recommendations, thanks in advance!

Need some reliable General Contractors (licensed and insured), who can give me estimates of the rehab.

I have read all the forum post related to foreclosures that I can find on here, and I guess I wanted to check my process and invite anyone else to give me advice.The recommendations I have been given/ read most frequently are:Have a title report performed as close to the date of sale as possible (2-3 days depending on how long your title company needs) Try to find a title company that is willing to sell you title insurance after a judicial foreclosure.Perform extra searches yourself for any items that are excluded from the title report.Calculate the expected value based on the best comps.Drive by the property to get an idea of current condition.

Ask for 12 months of proof of rent payments "on time". 12 months of phone bill payments, 12 months of water bill payments, 12 months of electric payments, tuition payments on time, auto insurance payments, etc.

First, should I wait until after that date to enter into a realtor contract to sell the property to insure that I get the presumption that my intent has been to hold it as an investment property? 

Make sure you carry ample liability insurance too and keep your personal stuff completely separate.

The rates and fees will be higher, but you could put something like $7500 down on a $30k property that brings in $1300/ mo when your mortgage, taxes, and insurance come out to like $650/mo combined.

I am already prepared to provide surety (landlord insurance and insurance against property damage, etc.)

This is a mom & pop apartment so there are no financials just rents and the expenses that were included was insurance, utility and that's it.I am trying to build a pro-forma with the info that I do have.
