and it does not look like the right deal for me and my investing objectives.However, this is the first multi-unit I have seriously looked at and want to make sure I am making some of the correct assumptions; which are below.

This is my assumption It sounds like you may not trust your realtor and if thats the case I would say just make sure your solving the right problem. 

It is just an assumption though, so it's possible she hangs in there.

And if the deal is better than that standard/hurdle, the sponsors use ultra conservative assumptions to get back to standard and under-promise and over-deliver.My last three investments were in Bradenton FL (self-storage), Arlington TX (multifamily), and all over the country (MHP & SS fund).FYI...A going in 6 cap for an A or B class with a strong value add in a good location is a great deal.Hope that helps.

My assumption would be that the bank would still follow through on the foreclosure with the house itself but whoever buys the parcel of land at auction would have it without having to worry about the bank. 

You'll be losing money based on your assumptions

Hi Brian,Assuming this is a life insurance/agency loan, the loan documents should detail any loan assumption fees.

Make no assumptions.
