Often times the property is sold as a legal process to transfer title; you have a good opportunity to deal with the owner direct (best thru a third party, like an agent to avoid legal issues).

If you have to file next week, give her one last email to pay you with a cashier's check before you file, and tell her it's going to show on her searches.Small claims in Ohio is $6000Get your accounting looking PERFECT. 1. demand to pay water bill/ canceled checks what you paid and what they billed2. in Ohio does the seller get to keep deposits (I say no they should have been transferred to buyer) Who handled your closing?

I know that is not always the case.Selling anything right now to have to buy another primary doesn't appeal given rates now vs. what we have, but to your point we might be able to do more with that cash vs. just leveraging equity & financing.I'll run some numbers and happy to share with more data.

Both Prosper and Lending Club offer loans big enough to cover your 50% down payment.Something I would never recommend to most people, but as a last resort -- if you absolutely knew you COULD pay it off any time you wanted, you could put the down payment or at least a big chunk of it on a credit card and float it between 0% balance transfer offers until you get it paid off.

Once you do that, understand if you can have the tenants out with a "contingent to 30-day notice" before transfer of property. 

Hi Everyone,Wanted to know the best way to do this real estate transfer/deal.My wife's parents own a rental property free and clear in an LLC.

He’s breaking the lease after only 4 months after getting transferred.

Because water was provided by the municipality, the past due water bills were later transferred to my tax bill account with accompanying penalties as I didn't learn about it till months after they moved.

Happy to be a resource and share data for the area. 

I sent a wire transfer right away to an undisclosed bank.
