If you are going the route of engaging a GC (general contractor) to provide a turn-key option, then you are relying on them to make decisions in these areas to complete your project for what they perceive as your expectations (not always correct) but is a nice option if you are looking for a hassle free (relatively) process... but it comes with a premium in my experience.

You're paying a premium for huge growth potential, but you're going to need to put up with a lot meanwhile.

During the redemption period the owner can buy back the property for 25% premium over auction price.

Seems like no matter what the issue is they reject it. eBay even told me after the last one that putting in claims will increase my policy premiums.
