Just expressing some thoughts on this potential deal and curious how others wouldMove forward to produce a win/win end result.

sounds like I’m finishing things up and making them tight as possible actually reduced your humidity too + the dehumidifier a win win.

Be the person you need to be to win at this :)

Has anyone used Auction.com to bid/win properties? 

You're already winning!

The math on the Principal, interest, taxes, insurance, and PMI pencils out to me and IF all of this went according to what you laid out it's a win IMO. 

Act 76, Secs. 29 & 34 Eff. for evictions filed after 3/1/14.)I have no doubt that I'd win eventually and could likely then get the court to make him liable for all court expenses and my attorney fees.

You don't have to give the friend any interest, but as a rule of thumb it is a great idea to seek mutual benefit and if you can find a way to give them a return, that's the best way I can think of to make sure the benefit is mutual and there is a potential for future wins together.For instance, if it is for a flip or project that you intend to refinance in the next 6-12 months, what if you asked them to do a "simple interest" loan due at sale or refi and gave them a 10% return? 

Title companies can also provide you a list of all cash transactions on real estate, that is a good place to start and they certainly want your business so that can be a win win.Meeting other investors at real estate meet ups and events along with right here on BP is great.
