I recently purchased a property acquired via foreclosure auction and wanted to use a Hard Money lender.

Sadly, many hard money lenders have hijacked the private money lender keywords so they are much more challenging to identify via google.

You may want to see if you can find an existing home via creative financing.

So, it's not just full payoff of the loan via sale or refinance during the prepayment penalty period that triggers the prepayment penalty.

We bought this via that Hunington group you know in Houston. 

I just got married to a realtor (i can claim real state professional status in 2024 via my wife).

The boundary also cuts the edge of the house diagonally.

I provided them keys via a lockbox at the property, so I never met them in person throughout the tenant screening process or to get the keys to them.

NOW, if there was a recent storm that cause a sudden leak resulting interior damage you may not have much of a leg to stand on because HOA was not neglegent in doing timely repairs, it just happened.Now if you think they should repair but they won't you will have to sue your HOA (yourself also since you are an owner) Once they board and HOA recieve the letter from your attorney, they will likely just settle and fix your wall inside since it will be way more costly to defend and it may raise they HOA insurance next year, thus passing the cost to you via your HOA dues.

Don t give up control which you have via direct investing .
