hi mike. what you have going on here is a property that has not met the reserve price. in cases like these, the top bidder is no where near the reserve price. if you are the top bidder, auction.com will contact you and offer you the house for near the reserve price. in these cases, the top bidder declines and the house hits the auction block again. you need to be the top bidder at the end of the auction. i personally have had them call me and offer me the house for a few thousand less than their reserve price, which i counter offered at a few thousand over my price. we met in the middle and i still got a pretty good deal. 

However, it was nice to have access to the MLS.  

All the title company is doing is accessing public information.

If you want to know more about how to access legal shield, email me.Hope that helps...

Could it possibly be on a high crime block?

Or you can't have access to it.

I'm worried about the lease language, identifying in the lease, access to the main house only, and access to the in-law suite only.

You can access it wherever you go.

@Dennis Jervier, JrCan you PM me the block or post it so we can advise you better.  

I have taken properties that are the ugliest on the block, with no one living in them, and increased its taxable value by 3-4 times.
