Contingencies for inspection, including mandatory wood destroying insect report and financing with a waiver that says if the property doesn't appraise for the sale price, the buyer gets all deposit money back.  45 day close.Who wins?  

I think its a total win/win/win/win to all parties who have touched this deal.

Between rising rent, mortgage pay down, tax benefits and possible appreciation this will be win long term.

The portion that they want is nice with grass and a partial stone wall that fronts the entire road frontage of my lot but in truth the part that they want has a "bowl" shape that collects storm water so it's not the "best" portion of the lot but it does "look" nice.We're fine with the idea of the development as our house is on a busy road and it would be great to have a road near by for walks and we like the idea of the possibility of new neighbors.Also while we are not in need of money, it's always nice to have and looking at the possibility of $100k is nice.My feeling is that we are in a win win situation... if they buy at $100k then great we have money and a new neighborhood... if they don't buy we have better access to the neighborhood with the neighbors house gone and maybe a nicer view. 

Without trying to get into political matters, this jolt could easily come in 2020 if democrats win the election. 

In the meantime make sure that you have all the notifications sent out from the date of the winning bid so your clock counts. 

You know it's a win-win!

Don’t you take on the loan amount after you bid and win at an auction.

It is a win-win and I think is a solid way to go.If you don't want a partner, maybe just make it a debt agreement where your private money lender carries a 2nd mortgage against the properties while the commercial lender carries the first?
