The LAW says that the sale is upheld and the buyer has bought the property subject to ALL liens, judgements and mortgages. 

Hello Moncy,It would be best to get an attorney to help ensure the judgement goes in your favor at the next eviction hearing.

Judgement against the tenant is with us to collect $3500 from the tenant.

We knew there was water in the scrawl space, but our initial assumption was it was just groundwater since we’ve had a lot of rain in Maryland and the Annapolis / Baltimore area.What’s actually happening is the water is coming from the front right corner of the house, where the sewer line runs, plus there is a gap in the foundation in that same area that needs to be sealed.

AND my properties always look nice for the weekend because if it is going to rain on Friday, I just cut it on Thursday.

Flooding in Houston has gotten worse over the past two decades since I've first arrived and will probably continue to worsen as the incidence of heavy rain events increases.

Some improvements to the property are:Exterior steps and walkwaysWasher dryer added in all unitsNew stainless steel appliances: dishwasher, microwavehood, fridge, stove  (all the old tenants owned their own)Flooring for the garden unit, refinished the other unitsGranite counter topsPatch drywall and fresh paint on walls and trimUnexpected items list to name a few:Foundation cracks - fixed nowBathroom vents not actually venting - fixed nowRoof leak patch - heavy rains following closing made it apparentAttic plumbing came apart in the walls - previous contractor may not have properly glued?

Also since you know where he lives and he is a homeowner, you have some recourse for collecting on your judgement.

I like the terms and this is my first owner financed deal as well as my first potential rental property so I don't want those factors to cloud my judgement.
