Does anyone have experience acquiring property through the Allegheny County vacant property recovery program?

I am usually close to budget but this one is way over (tens of thousands, probably $40k over) and is not a flip and not being refinanced (due to where rates are versus my ~3% current rate) so the recovery has to be slow over the hold.  

Clermont (just West of Orlando) is building a $2 billion athletic health and wellness community  (Olympus) with over 4,000 homes and retail to match.

Hi I am 21 years old and a college athlete interested in real estate.

The loss would be $30k plus rehab fees x Y probability - recovery after court vs $5-15k savings guaranteedGetting a signed deed in escrow but not recording it until the property is sold to the final party (and the flipper/owner have both gotten paid somehow) OR the flipper has paid the 100k in cash as per the agreement if the seller is potentially reneging, could also work. 

There is no reason for next of kin to probate the estate as the mortgage is the only property and all funds will go to Medicaid Recovery. 

@Mark Mynhier  not sure about CA.. but in Oregon to be a licensed contractor you need a 20 to 50K bond and insurance.. the bond may allow some recovery.. plus most contractors don't want complaints filed against them..

An additional benefit of a detailed engineering-based Cost Segregation Study is that it can increase potential insurance premium savings as well as provides support for the property tax appeals process.Additionally, it can help maximize renovations and improvements.A Cost Segregation study is an IRS approved federal income tax tool that increases near term cash flow by utilizing shorter recovery periods for depreciation to accelerate return on investment.

The bullish appreciation that we have seen from the 2012-2016 recovery is now beginning to plateau and level off.

Not that there isn't money to be made there, it just seems like there are several variables to its recovery right now.Oh yeah, and welcome to the forum.
