I was trying to 1) buy into something for us to live in 2) secure a 2nd rental property (we have one in No VA) and 3) set up one unit as a vacation rental (I have numerous reasons).  

Title companies apparently do not feel confident that some interested party won't come out of the woodwork at some later date saying that they weren't notified of the delinquency and subsequent sale.So if you are trying to pick up some land with some spare change that you intend to get to after we send men to Mars, you should be okay.  

I have a trustworthy agent if interested (full disclosure, I'm marred to her.)

I expect some day in the distant future to be on a Mars Lander -- "Hello, this is Houston Control, Houston Control -- we have a message here from a Than Merrill, who wants to tell you the Martian market is just ripe for a few motivated individuals to try his special wealth building program ..."

I'm moving to the NOVA area later this year.

She also acknowledged that she didnt clean the apartment as required.She moved out in Nov 2016 and we sent the bill in Mar 2017 (due to having to deal with personal health issues and etc).

But, the CCR specifically writes that, "No person shall, mar, deface, paint, inscribe, damage or waste any common area.

(1) Someone will pay his/her 40K IRS lien. (2) A family member of his/her can list his/her property and get 3% real estate commission. 21K (3% of 700K) is not a lot of money in Del Mar, CA or Manhattan, but it is still a decent amount in my town (3) Property owner can walk away free (Non-recourse).

After some back and forth, we settled on $52,500 with a closing date of Mar 30.
