I would start by contacting the mortgage holder of your current property and discuss your plans.

Well ceo's are driven to get ever higher profits for their share holders, in order to justify their exorbitant salary and bonuses.

Another option is for you to make the payment to the note holder, you could simply be a tenant and do that.A bigger issue is changing the insured on the insurance policy, this can be arranged with the agent to show you as a loss payee or an additional insured.

I was thinking if something could be available online or MLS of I will ask a realtor to represent me, or I could just call to biggest mortgage holders

The note holder is out of town, missed last 4 payments, they should have an idea where things may be heading.

As you admit, the other "strategy" is also unlikely considering there is NO incentive for the senior lien holder to negotiate a short payoff on a loan you do not have.At the end of the day, you are the only one that benefits with a potential of six months rent.

This is part of the reason I'm obtaining a work visa to move down to the US in the next half year.

Can a policy be purchased to insure lien holders on a property in cases where the home owners insurance only covers the current value of the property?

As a lien holder my company is listed as Mortgagee & Additional interest on the homeowners policy.

., They probably won't lift the lien, but you could try this:  Have the seller who owes the debt contact the lien holder and ask if they will issue a release on the condition that all of his proceeds from the sale go to paying down the lien.
