If the title company remains uncooperative, consulting a lawyer to pursue legal action may be necessary to resolve this matter and ensure you're not held liable for the previous taxes.

Hi, Sounds good on paper, but the challenge is that you don't know what you don't know.As long as you do not have someone local that knows the business etc, so that you get a second opinion, I would remain highly skeptical.I got a similar offer for investing into RE in UKI, with 13% ROI.

Making average assumptions, will vary from location to location but premise remains the same.Income: Each side of duplex rent $1500 total rent $3000 per month.  

I put down ~40% using the remaining 1031 proceeds and some savings and have a ~$11,000 mortgage but only a 300 HOA fee with misc bills etc around $1000 a month. 

(And since we're tossing in wishes here, may Andrew's insurance remain untouched, etc.)

So do not expect appreciation to be your savior, the facts remain that this market will bounce back and will appreciate more than the Midwest, but can you carry the debt for that long until it does?

I conveyed with a hybrid contract for deed which put title in the buyer's names, but I remain the legal owner.   

:) The buyer enters into an agreement to purchase the property by making payments with some amount due in the first payment and then a schedule of the remaining balance paid in installments.

The time a tenant pays through Avail until the rent payment hits my bank has remained the same length of time (3-4 days).
