@Aaron Ramm I offer property management services in Everett through my brokerage firm Champions Real Estate Services.

There's also ways to accomplish proper service through "substituted service" where it's not necessary to personally serve the defendant.

Make sure you also send a denial letter every time your deny someone.Just remember that when you have a rental property the people applying have many many rights, and if they choose to exercise those rights, whether they are just or not could cost you a lot of money in legal fees defending your position.

Most lenders and mortgage brokers make little to no money in the loan application process and usually do not even cover their overhead associated with the application.Let me state again that I am not defending these guys, but rather saying that just like residential loans, there is a cost to get a loan. due to the much more complicated nature of commercial loans, the due diligence and processing cost are significantly higher.

That'll tell you who the plaintiff and defendant are, property, etc. 

If recorded after the mortgage that is being foreclosed, and the judgment holder is named/served as a defendant, then it gets wiped out, from the property.  

@Ali Boone You have actually been my champion for looking at turnkey out of state. :)  I've been working on reading through all of your Blog posts, I'm about half way through. 

There are laws regarding each and by intentionally and unlawfully encumbering title, you just might become a Defendant.  

I'm not defending his sloppy handling of the situation, he's just a poor agent, but buyer's agents are paid to bring a buyer... they might have brought that buyer to 50 different properties before they finally came to yours.. and then it's a lot of hand holding to the buyers from that point on... usually for the next 4-6 weeks or more.

In a recent FB post, Cook County Board President Toni Preckwinkle's Director of Governmental and Legislative Affairs describes Cook County's debt problem as a "pension tsunami" in defending the recent 1% sales tax increase.
