It could be on there or you can find it on Zillow. If its in Brown county they post all sheriffs sales on the county website.

You could reach out the law firm that is handling the foreclosure. They can provide what the opening bid will be at the auction which many times is lower then the mortgage.

It depends on how you are going to finance it- if you have cash then go with an LLC if you are getting a mortgage then no LLC until after you purchased it.

I think it is this a strong arm tactic that tenants use on part-time landlords. I would make reasonable deductions and include pictures in the letter. Make sure you send it out a few days before the 21st day just so you don't get busy and rush to do it last minute. I have had tenants complain about deductions in email or text and I tell them to call me to discuss and most times I never here from them again. I would include them in the walk thru and document the damage but you don't have to tell them what you are deducting at that time.
I personally don't send it certified because I know as soon as they get the check they will cash it or complain so delivery is not a problem. The only time a send a certified letter is when I keep the whole deposit.
