Is it possible to buy a house that's been defaulted on and is posted to go to auction at a later date, say 3-10-2020.

I'm far more concerned with long term appreciation, but finding a deal that cash flows $200+ has proven difficult to date as I just dont see rents over $1200-1500 in most B/C+ neighborhoods.Is this more of a reflection of a market to flip or just not having found the right deals yet? 

If I understand it correctly it is primarily to bring the property up to date and to repair damaged parts of the home.

Since you occupied it over 2 years You can sell it fully tax free if you do so before it has been a rental for a total of 3 years (you didn't give exact dates).

If the tenants have a contract on a place with a closing date or a signed lease for a new place would that satisfy them. 

There is not a lot to it as long as you paper your tenant when appropriate, always deal with issues as though they will be reviewed at some future date by a Judge.

We allowed ourselves ample time to close, but with the way the calendar fell there was multiple holidays in between the expected date of closing.

I say two years because depending on the sale date it can take some time for the true tax to show up on records. 

However, none move out date, this was Apr'16.The complex is comprised of 104 4plexs, more or less.

As far as providing a buyer with the home information, I was going to ask for an Ernest deposit and POF to set up an “inspection date” so the buyer can actually see the property.I want to close on a deal so I can use that Money to get a property under a lease to buy option so I can rent out to college students.
