Jay - you are right about the rough weather/air.

It sucks but I'm not aware of any law that prevents it.

Maybe they dont want additional debt on their credit report for their new acquisition.Find out who would be responsible to taxes and insurance during this term, maybe structure it like LC where they pay rent at a interest rate you are comfortable with.If your obligated to sell it back make sure that price is a good profit margin for you because it might prevent future deals that you come across during these 18 months.Just wondering if the property is just a SFH/MFH ?

It is locked up and secured to prevent vandals (not the legal owners) from entering the property.The bank can be negotiated with like anything else: they can postpone the foreclosure; they may reinstate the loan if you want to keep it; If you're upside down you could do a short-sale; and they have the power to waive fees.

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. 

@Phil Beck If you’re working now with stable income meaning full-time hourly or salary position there are many loan options you will need to document your injury and out of work time but it should not strictly prevent you from being able to purchase unless it also took a toll on your credit in with you on eligible due to credit reasons.

This happens after 14 day review period to prevent retaliatory reviews.

If you come across as a Foreclosure Prevention Specialist you may be in violation of the S.A.F.E.

Leave for several days, vacuum the baking soda, change the vinegar, air out.

I want to get started but fearful bad credit will prevent me from getting a mortgage or rehab loan.
