The only way that I knew so far to get out of the contract was the inspection period since.

I have two questions:1)  Is there a waiting period between the time the property is listed and the time they will accept offers? 

Have you tried short term private loans?

I have been using HighRise for a short time and am impressed.

We're still early in the option period, so we are not sure if it's permitted yet.

The total value of the contract would end up being $52,419 over a period of 8 years.

Any external influences such as short sales, death, divorce, etc that affect a sale price means that property should not be used as a comp.

You will probably have to wait for a right of recession before receiving the cash, but that is only a 3 <business> day period.

These properties have new liens up for sale but I'm hesitant to buy any because I'm not sure why the certificate holders haven't started the foreclosure process even though they are years past the required redemption period (2 years in Florida).

This is one of the typical frauds...most claim it as an "inspection" period.
