Thanks in advance for any advice on this, I'm trying to figure out the best avenue to pursue. 

Not sure if a bankruptcy would change the parameters or not but that may be a better option for the seller. yes if the bank reports the debt as forgiven.. there is an IRS form though you can file with your tax's that says your broke.. then you don't own the tax's on the forgiven amount.. during the crisis IRS postponed this so no one got that treatment but that sunset and now short sales or debt forgiveness needs to be calculated …. the forgiven debt is tax as ordinary income so a 1 mil forgiveness could be a 300 to 400k tax bill..

View report*This link comes directly from our calculators, based on information input by the member who posted.I am a bit confused as to how the total cash invested is calculated , my numbers arent the same as that in the calculator:TOTAL CASH REQUIRED AT AQUISITION Purchase price: 70000  Repair cost: 30000  ARV: 120000  Hard money loan(75% of arv): 90000  Points on loan: 2700Closing cost:2500   Total needed at aquisition: (70000+30000-90000)+2500=12500; the same as the calculator but arent the points paid on a hard money loan paid upfront?

Where I am, they don't send inspectors around to verify people living in homes are related, they get reported by frustrated neighbors who call in.
