We have a older TOH park and getting big offers from hotel chains to buy, close and redevelop.

What is standard practice?

It is my understanding that if you enter into the lease knowing of the foreclosure and placing a tenant anyway, then the lease is essentially deemed invalid as you and the tenant knew that it was a matter of time before they were evicted.Also there is an assignment of rents in residential mortgages as well, and doing this may open you up to a lawsuit by the mortgage holder since you essentially stole potential rent from them.And finally if the plan is actually to buy an HOA lien and wait until a foreclosure, I think that falls under unethical practices and would never do that, or encourage anyone else to either.

I know a good deal when I it pops up on MLS, but it's gone in a day or there are 5-7 offers.

The big brokerages do offer great support, but your fees will be high.
