Can you guys please enlighten me on this.  

@Upen Patel would be able to enlighten you.

They do a decent job of working out if you don't wan to compared to other servicers, though no one will do as good a job as you.While I can't site a specific law that covers calling them as potential not buyers, its what I was told, and if anyone knows any specific law or statues under banking laws that prevent you from calling the mortgage holder before you buy their mortgage, please do enlighten us. 

There's also a ton of information on this site, and instead of spending money I think you'd profit more if you saved your cash for a property  to invest in after you've dug through all the great, enlightening posts. 

I just want to thank everyone who took the time to answer, this has been very enlightening.

I would definitely advise you consult with a real estate attorney on your purchase, and I'm sure they can enlighten you further on your rights and position in this transaction.

Apparently the level of financial education in our school system is so low, or none existent, that a third grade level book with no specifics, just broad generalities can become a runaway best seller and be worshiped by both the financial naive as well as those preying on them as a brilliant work of financial acumen and enlightenment.  1.

I welcome any enlightenment.

@Tom Stromar How enlightening to hear that Nanaimo is more investor friendly and is only a ferry ride away.

Very enlightening.
