been there done that its how I used to do pre foreclosures out west before the laws changed..

The company I use has patched the issue since then, but security is ongoing, of course.

If there are any issues with the borrowers, I don't have to deal with it.

It ended up okay, but it sure taught her to slow down and get comfortable digging deep into the due diligence.Here in San Diego, I’ve seen the seasoned investors always double-check with a well-regarded local title attorney..I’ve heard there are a few firms around downtown that specialize in smoothing out odball title issues..or a trusted property manager who knows what unique fees to expect.

I've also had to deal with a couple of appliance issues in a duplex I have where I do supply appliances. 

Are there some local laws I am unaware of or why is this happening?

Is there a funky property tax issue that arises with the collateral that is a local municipality error and can lender quickly analyze the situation, assess and articulate the risk and allow draws to carry on or will they make the life of the borrower miserable?

Lot less multifamily which is why I haven't bought but it is where I grew up.Make sure you study the eviction laws, I believe tioga County (but could be a different close county im not sure) my lawyer told me that you now HAVE to pay to pack up an evicted tenant professionally and store it for months at your own cost if they leave their stuff behind.

Take care of any reasonable property related issues quickly and expect your tenant(s) to take care of their responsibilities quickly also. 

There's a good chance the issue(s) you face has already been discussed and answered.Ask questions in the appropriate forum.
