I am particularly interested in Harris County.

they will call threaten beat their chest but you buy at trustee sale and you don't owe them. they are not super liens like other states were utls can survive.only thing that survives a west coast foreclosure is IRS  and some senior deferral tax's and ad valorum. everything else junior to the DT or not recorded goes away.. 

Only the fittest survives.

I say legalize it all and let survival of the fittest do its job."...listen son, said the man with the gun, there's room for you inside..."

I would definitely suggest connecting with an investor friendly agent in the area, maybe @Dean Harris, and they will be able to point you in the right direction in regards to financing.

@Melissa Harris reach out to @Justin Cooper he can give you more details or put you in touch with a refinance lender that we use out in CO for more details.

Harris county (Houston) sent the tax bill for the entire property to the previous owner.

I survived and learned lessons.

The end result was the case was dismissed, even though the P&S contract allows some errors to survive the closing.

If one of you were to die, the surviving spouse would retain ownership.If you were married, your spouse would be entitled to 50% of the "marital home" regardless of who paid what - that is just part of throwing your lot in together.Depending on the status of {marital} property-law in Oklahoma, common-law partners may be viewed the same as married.
