So I’m guessing you’ve done some in-depth information on this home to know that there’s a VA loan and amount to be settled.

VA loan is guaranteed either Veteran or widower, as long as there is income. 80% is a rarity especially older age. 30 to 50% as a reality.

My dad was a contractor and rough carpenter, Homes for sale by the county for only taxes is bottom of the barrel.
Every home has to be completely gutted, no power for years. Take to studs, sheet rock mud (my job). Then sell for someone to finish. Quick turnaround and cash deal, usually another contractor.

If home hold mortgages, it’s bank owned, taxes their responsibility, sold as foreclosure.
