@Heidi M. - is it a masonry fireplace or a factory built/prefab fireplace ?  If it is a prefab, then you can remove as much as you can and cap the rest if you would have to start ripping apart walls - Don't forget to cap where it goes outside to prevent animals.  If it is a masonry fireplace, then there are ways to "decommission" it so it cannot be used to burn wood.

@Brandon Rainwater:  Have you sought a hard money lender and then refinance when you get funds?  Have you discussed the situation with the owners?

Connect and private message me details if you wish to further discuss.

@Cody Weiss: I would be interested in knowing myself.  Do you mind sending along the information when you find out?

@Shawn G Hope: You are at the mercy of the bank with this one.  I would get a hold of a decision maker at the bank before paying out any money.

I looked into a similar situation earlier this year and I found that if the homeowner cannot pay the mortgage then I did not think he would be able to pay rent.  What does renting back to the homeowner do to them psychologically - they now rent the house they could not pay for?  I don't know... I am just throwing it out there.

@Account Closed: Dang... I would watch it closely then.  Perhaps a tax lien may get slapped on it and you can pick it up.  Let me know if you ever figure it out and what you did to get there!

@Account Closed: Can you see where the tax bill is sent?  If it is sent to the property address, can you leave a letter with you phone number?

@Adam Feick: Has it ever been filled? Has any marketing been done to try and attract more people? If the vacancy is high enough... can it be redeveloped?
