HI, i am looking for answers to my question from people who can answer based on their own experience and knowledge, without telling me to contact an attorney . I bought a home at a judicial foreclosure sale and i am aware their was a HOA lien, but their never obtained an judgement because the bank has filed a lis pendens. now, the HOA attorney is jerking me around and directly told me their prefer to file a lis pendens after i have obtained COT. this is scary because all the money i paid is at risk of forclosure because the hoa doesn't want to settle with me, the new owner directly. is the attorney jerking me around, does he have some kind of game plan up his sleeved to make more money ?
my plan is to pay it off so that i can flip it, but the jerk for an attorney is playing a fast one on me in my opinion, .

As much as you don't want to hear it, I recommend you contact an attorney.
An attorney might cost you a couple hundred bucks but solve your problem. Bad advice from someone that does not know local laws will likely cost you everything you have in the house. Your choice.

The HOA doesn't want to "settle" because they intend to get paid in full for all outstanding assessments and costs by someone... perhaps you. Request a payoff in writing from the attorney representing the HOA and pay... the balance is increasing.
