In a court case or two, I was asked by the opposing attorneys the question, "who filled out the forms and wrote the contracts".

@Dennis MedinaHow complex is your situation?  

Your attorney will put in a claim and notify the court how much rent is and if it is current.

Purchase price: $210,000 Cash invested: $21,000 2/2 condo, in a 314-unit complex. 1.7 miles from the beach, great location.

@Michael GreerSomething doesn’t seem rightYes you win at sheriffs sale but the sheriff and courts need to finalize the funds and who gets what and then issue the deedYes in some places this can take monthsWe had one in PG county Maryland that took 14 months for them to issue the sheriffs deed

It’s not necessarily a foreclosure case.Including as a defendant in the lawsuit someone who would likely be a superior lien holder suggests to me there is more going on than a straightforward foreclosure.Or it could be something simple like an unreleased lien and the court is being asked to quiet title or otherwise weigh in on lien priority.Let us know how it shakes out. 

Recap: Tenant didn't pay rent for a few months, and we ended up in court, agreeing to a 12 month arrears payment (per courts).Today tenant received a DCA EPP Payment for 6 months into the future (May->Oct).

You can go to small claims court, but you are unlikely to see the money. 

Purchase price: $142,000,000 Cash invested: $25,000 Syndication deal on a large multifamily apartment complex in the Phoenix area15.5% IRR1.98x multiplier exit in 2-5 year time frame

I need to respond to the attorney's demand letter and almost want to go to court, even if it takes six months to evict her.
