The case ended in a settlement and is still pending actually, but it looks like my clients will "win" and get the townhouse afterall.

Your attorney and RE broker can guide you to the best title settlement types and you need to know them.

What was settlement date? 

Being that you seem to be knowledgeable on the subject and I apologize if this is not the right question in response to your post, but do you have any idea if institutions will do a settlement, say if I call them  will they allow me to pay off the principal in a lump sum payment and dismiss the interest that has build up in order to discharge the loan?

The title company fees should be on the closing HUD-1 Settlement Statements, and Transactional Funding covers 100% of the purchase price and closing costs.

Kaleb Carsten , if you haven't gone to settlement yet ask the seller for a written original lease plus security deposit and any rent due for that month.

I am currently holding the deposit hoping for a small settlement outside of court and have already sold and closed on the the condo to another buyer (at a loss).

Has the insurance company given you a depreciated settlement amount?

Having a settlement statement in your hand with a purchase price of 75k goes along way.
