Lawsuits can happen in these situations, and if partners can’t come up with the missing portion, then their is a risk of default.

No lawsuits pending or anything, just protecting for the future. 

If you decide to file an ejectment you'll need to know where they are so you can serve lawsuit papers on them.

If I let the tenant stay in the unit I was subjecting myself to a possible lawsuit for mold growth.

My concern is that the current owner has a pending lawsuit with his insurance company regarding the repairs.

Probably 2-4 units, or converting a single-family into a multi-unit by adding an ADU or mother in law suite.

@Judy Parker the unfortunate stories that some have told are situations where lawyers would go after the onese who have coverage in an event of a lawsuit.

Following.If you find out there is a lawsuit in the mix I would really like to see what other steps could be taken to come to a mutually agreement on the property if any. 

Found an on market deal.Ppty was flooded during Harvey and unoccupied .But the big problem is lawsuits .As per sellers agent Hoa is sueing the seller for not paying the fees( shouldnt it be an HOA lien)First time hearing HOA will sue you .The second law suit is between seller and insurence company bvoz seller was only paid 1600$ as insurence compensation bcoz of the flooding .Insurence company tried mitigation but seller refused.My question is what should i know before submitting an offer.Will the deal close ?

I am trying to pull the 2 businesses together for greater focus.My goal is to find a way to build an addition onto my house to act as an in-law suite / airbnb rental but I will need to pay myself over the several months that it will take to build the suite.Second note is that my house is up for refinance in about a year and a half so it would be great to wrap both loans into the refi with a little cash-out if possible.
