An agent I know had an unrepped buyer on one of their listings who didn't set up their wire in time for closing, went into default on the contract, and they had a backup buyer who scooped in and bought the property instead.

Hey @Lahiru S Hettiarachchi Gamage, To clear things up for you:Rental real estate activities are default passive in the eyes of the IRS.

The loan is listed as being in payment default with interestpayments capitalized.The Cyclone portfolio lists the original borrower as various entities we believe to be subsidiaries of CycloneInvestment Group, headed by Aaron Eichorn and Charles Aryeh who appears to have used a relative, Chiya Aryehas a sponsor for the loans.We note that Trustee data sponsor and borrower data for earlier CLOs is inconsistent, and the nature of the loanbook is such that properties can be swapped in and out over time.

I dont think the terms allow me to post a link but here are some basics.Has been occupied avg of 17 days per month since Sept.managed by a top tier company and has 4.8 star avg reviews.Also would be a good family home (large private lot, fenced yard, hot tub).It has the benefit of being near Austin downtown, but NOT in Austin city limits (9 miles to city center), so lower taxes and no STR rules (default to Travis County rules).I have read the forum posts for similar situations, however every market is different. 

Under the laws of most states, when a corporate entity is dissolved, until a court appoints a receiver, the business and affairs of the entity shall be managed under the direction of the trustees of the entity’s assets to undertake the acts necessary or proper to liquidate the entity and wind up its affairs.In the context of LLCs most state laws permit the remaining members (or sole surviving member) of a limited liability company or, if the LLC has no remaining members, the personal representative, guardian, or other successor to the last remaining member of the LLC to wind up its affairs.The title company needs to do its research and not resort to the "you need to reinstate the LLC" position that many default to.

Most seller financed deals are to borrowers who lack sufficient credit to get a conventional loan, so their risk of default is much higher.

You should certainly start the process earlier than maturity, especially at the very least within a couple months of the maturity date - there can always be things that cause delays and pushes and even missing the maturity date by a couple weeks can have harmful consequences (since it will technically be a default / missed payment even if the lender is OK with it).Also, commercial loans even with the strictest prepayment protections / lockout periods will almost always have at least a 3-month open period prior to the Maturity Date

I became a landlord by default 10 years ago when I bought a restaurant with attached rental properties ... which I have since sold. 

There are a lot of wholesalers who are buying lists of properties in foreclosure / default and do not realize this in many states is considered predatory.As taxes and insurance increase along with homeowners having equity, states will start to catch on to this and my guess is start going after more of these wholesalers.It will be an easy win for them as most wholesalers act as brokers illegally (do not do double close) and do not let the homeowner know all the options available to them (modifications/ bankruptcy), they are out to solely benefit in their behalf which in itself is predatory

More importantly, give buyers the power to refuse the services of a buyer agent without that compensation defaulting to the listing agent.
