His experience is in complexes with 70+ units, but I'm guessing he might be able to help you out since he's finally gotten out of his j-o-b and might be looking to give back.

My husband and I have been listening to BP podcast's for a year or two but are finally get involved on the website (forums, blogs, etc.).

Finally I contacted them through Facebook today and they are extremely motivated to sell. 

We are in the process of doing a cash-out refinance to pay-off our bridge loan on an acquisition we made this May.  

What can I do to obtain the home fast without letting the home sit there and rack up taxes before the county will finally put it up for tax sale.

When I walked through I had to teach him how to be ready with a renovation plan and a detailed scope, which he didnt have, so each bid was what ever these cl hacks wanted to convince him to do, I instructed that market data and ROI rule all decisions, first figure out your selling competition and what the final product must be than the road there is self explanatory, so I fixed his scope.

For my first deal or so I'd envision contributing the due diligence on the acquisition, performing all project management of the rehab (while paying contractors at an arm's length), refinancing / financing the property and then performing the subsequent management.  

I went on to do contracting work overseas in 2011 and have finally settled in VA with my fiancé who is currently still in the military.  

And finally, given that I often have to take long term projects out of town, it would be much easier to sublet my apt than a SF. 

We refused and asked for a release, 5 days later he finally replied saying he would get his relative to do the work.
