Generally if a first is going to be paid off from the second position foreclosure, then the first must be notified in the complaint and the language will not be indicative of the foreclosure being subject to the first.

So sad...... what is scary too is they only have them 10-20% contained and they are expected to get high winds again which can carry those embers pretty far. you also have to think these fire fighters etc. have been working around the clock and must be exhausted.

If you take a traditional investment approach of trying to buy a property that is done or needs little maintenance it can be tough to cash flow in many ski areas (I'm generalizing here).

I also take my contractor to all first showings to try to find the problems before we go under contract.

Hi, we are trying to do a 1031 exchange by selling our rental condo in exchange for a single family home rental.

@CraigIf you have two offers with that high of down payment already you must be living right!

It is very messed up and I am trying to remove it from the building to avoid and further mess.So she started arguing and I gave her one week to remove her stuff.

I would try not to tie up any of the principal in down payments.Personally, I had a family member do this same thing, but they used an investment portfolio as the collateral instead of real estate.If you play your cards right, this might be the only short-term money you ever need.Please let us know what you end up doing.

What specifically are you trying to get better at? 

A tenant may try to befriend you so that you'll feel bad about kicking them out if rent is unpaid, etc.
