Leader - "someone in an official position of authority who can command or control others"Your not leading them...you're following them,...and picking up the pieces.

If the sale was by a quit claim deed, or almost any other deed other than warranty deed, then depending on if any other documents were signed by seller regarding liability for “back taxes” he may not be responsible.Since as to the taxing authority the taxes stay with the property, if you or someone doesn’t pay them, and assuming no mistake was made as to their status, then your property is subject to any and all relief available to the taxing authority, including lawsuit, lien, or foreclosure action.

Hi Guys,The potential deal here, first time dealing with a pre-foreclosure.Preforeclosure seller, auction due in a week, Got authorization signed from the seller, the bank claims the current arrears are about 52k which sounds steep.the owner did not pay the mortgage for 3 years.original loan is 165k, 3.75% fixed 30 years, monthly payments are $760, so adding 3 years of payments together it should add up 27k of arrears, not 52k.I realize there may be some late fees and attorney fees built up in there,who do I reach out to negotiate those arrears down and how what do i say to make that happen?

Then call the Housing Authority and let them know that the Section 8 Tenant has violated the lease and that you need them to step in to assist in removing the violent non-lease occupant.  

A nonconforming use is a use of land, buildings, or structures that was lawfully established prior to the effective date of this ordinance, or any amendment thereto, but which does not conform to the regulations for the zoning classification in which it is located.Nonconforming uses may be continued subject to the following limitations:a) No nonconforming use shall be extended, expanded, enlarged, or moved to occupy a different or greater area of land, buildings or structures than was occupied by such use at the time it became nonconforming; provided, however, a nonconforming use may be extended throughout any parts of a building which were specifically designed and arranged for such use at the time it became nonconforming.b) No building or structure devoted to a nonconforming use shall be enlarged, extended, recon­structed, moved, or structurally altered unless such building or structure is thereafter devoted to a conforming use; provided, however, such building or structure may be enlarged or extended upon prior authorization from the Board of Adjustment, which authorization shall not be granted unless the Board of Adjustment makes each of the following findings of fact:1) The proposed enlargement or extension shall be de minimis in relation to the existing building or structure.2) The proposed enlargement or extension shall not increase the intensity of the nonconforming use, which is to say, it will not result in an increase in dwelling units for a residential use nor in gross floor area for a nonresidential use.3) The proposed enlargement or extension is designed so that it will not render the use of the property any less compatible than it is in its existing circumstances.4) The authorization of such proposed enlargement or extension is not otherwise contrary to the public health, safety or welfare.c) A nonconforming use of a structure may not be changed to another nonconforming use unless such change is authorized by the Board of Adjustment.

If it a Class A or Class B property I doubt you would have any issues from the housing authority.

Dallas Housing Authority is the same way , very problematic but all the area’s suburban housing agencies are wonderful, solutions oriented.

All it really means is if something happens, my wife and I are in our seventies, they have the authority to take over, and in the event of death, the properties does not have to be probated, and does not have to be in the will.
