In GA (if that's where you're looking in invest), after winning an auction you are issued a "Redeemable Deed" that, if the property owner redeems, the winning bidder is paid back their investment amount, plus 20% penalty on the first year of elapsed taxes, and 10% on any additional year after. 

I can tell you broadly that a lot of cash buyers avoid roof and foundation issues due to the cost and that they favor properties that require basic cosmetic repairs.

Thanks for the response.I have in writing from the lender that they have no issue with me transferring the title.

Originally posted by @Chris Seveney:@Patrick DesjardinsI was completely unaware of any issues when I posted what I posted.

Because of the competitive market, I'm curious if anyone has had similar issues?

Hard to cover up cat issues, don't pay around.

Taxes are a difficult issue and are hard to avoid from the back end.

I paid them $6k and explicitly pointed out the issue of the low middle area of the home, and they did not fix the issue.

My question is for hard money lenders ,do they see this as an issue?

But things get more complicated when a lot of these people renting out their basements illegally are also not paying taxes on the income... and then theres Insurance & liabilIty Issues as well. anyways, I personally am trying to find a way to do things as legally as possible.
