Thanks in advance for any guidance or sharing of experience,Steve We always use an attorney even though one is not needed as it just makes sure we are compliant and not something that can be later contested.

I think there are a few places that hold them for a couple years to get rid of the redemption /contest issue and then resale them either at auction or on the struck off list.So you want to know what is the situation, before you immediately begin fixing the house.   

@Quinton Slay,It sounds to me like she really doubts you, so with that, I personally wouldn't buy real estate  (or any large, legal contract) with someone who doubts me, b/c then you'll be in a contest to see who was right, which sounds like a relationship crapshoot!     

That's not a guarantee of being on the show, just that I was in the pool of possible contestants. 

They wouldn't really be able to contest it given what you have said.What do they say in response to the delays when you ask them?

Some HOA attorneys try to contest this but there is case law. 

From my understanding there will need to be an Affidavit of Heirship completed if this goes under contract, which will give way for the step-daughter to contest the sale, etc.As of now I'm staying away unless there is a work around I don't know about.Grateful for any advice.

Now, they are contesting the eviction saying in their response to court that  I did not repair two issues because of which they are withholding rent.

Account Closed - that's not how this works.Both of you are welcome to contest the assessments. 

At one point he contested the eviction saying we only wanted him out because of his race.
