@Chris Carruth In addition to bonding off the lien, the lien expires after a certain amount of time of the contractor doesn’t file suit to enforce it.  

Your local code enforcement department is already identifying distressed properties for you without the need for driving for dollars.

Your best bet is to enforce the contract and close on the property using lending if you have to.

These rights will be enforced, if need be, allowing us to enter the property and make repairs as needed. 

how can I work the insurance where my lender will still be additional insured with 1st lien (so hopefully they don’t catch it and enforce the due on sale) and keep myself covered as well with the wrap mortgage i will create?

Plus things like Tellus or another service can enforce late fees for you.

Shortly after the lawsuit was filed, a preliminary injunction was issued enjoining the City of Bedford from enforcing the point of sale ordinance.

A specific performance lawsuit to enforce the sale.Will cost you money to do though.
