What made you interested in investing in this type of deal?

@Felicia Nitu- Hopefully investors can figure out how to create new housing under SB 684. 

Plus new folks do a very poor job of screening the buyer for Ability To Repay (ATR) which involves pulling full doc and calculating the borrowers DTI, honest income, honest debt payments, prior debt payment histor (FICO) etc etc.Plus shockingly (or shocking to sellers) if you bought this investment house, fixed it, then are selling with financing you are selling "inventory" and y9ou owe taxes on the gain in the year of sale, you are NOT able to use installment sale to spread out paying taxes. 

When owning property with an unrelated partner, you can choose from several structures: Tenancy in Common (TIC) allows unequal ownership shares and independent transfers, while Joint Tenancy with Right of Survivorship (JTWROS) ensures the surviving owner inherits the property.

@Ram RangaRecommend exploring as many sources as possible to get referrals AND cross-reference them to get as much accurate information as possible.Check out NARPM.com, BP’s Property Manager Finder (BiggerPockets: The Real Estate Investing Social Network), etc.Also, encourage you to learn from the mistakes of others - by reading posts here on BiggerPockets about owners not having their expectations met by their current Property Management Company.

Does anyone have a good point of contact? 

Currently, I have a weekly check in with my current contractor, but alot of time it is a chasing game.

My question is this: before the am date of the auction 3 weeks from now, is there any way to find out if the mortgage has been paid and brought back to be in good standing, hence avoiding foreclosure and removed from the auction altogether?

This is a great case of how anyone can house hack.

I would prefer to start out here in Fayetteville, NC but I'm not opposed to other markets at all.
