It lists at $600,000 and you put $31,800 (about 5%) down with an FHA loan, since you have exhausted your VA loan limit.

If the sheriff has to come to remove (the legal route) you know that you have exhausted the other path and feel less awful.

I'm not doing exhaustive research, but maybe you could clarify at least for me?

From my research, and I'm exhausting this search, the top properties all appear to have pools, all jump off the page and their design elements are amazing.

Keep looking and exhaust all options you have.

The taxes don't help, but I wanted to make sure and exhaust my resources at hand.

If it's a problem with the plumbing and significant areas of the flooring, walls, or ceilings need to be opened up and it becomes too disruptive to the tenants or hazardous, an offer to house the family in a hotel for the time being would be in order.However, mystery water soaking a carpet brings to mind an incident in one of our properties... the tenant's brother-in-law hooked up his washing machine and didn't secure the water exhaust hose properly.

in the event they wake up and decide to foreclose you could then pay off the loan or re-finance.It's a risk that at least you know about going in and can decide if its worth the risk.There is always the possibility that they will not foreclose and then you will have to deal with this lien again when/if you decide to sell the property in the future.You may try skip trace or something to exhaust all possibilities of contacting the lender...  

The no's get no more attention until I notify them it has been rented, the maybe's sit for awhile until I exhaust my yes's. 

When you choose in and go in and hold yourself accountable, you really can't fail if you first exhaust your sphere as a full-time agent.
