Curious about the reason, I consulted my home insurance broker, who informed me that the property had a water damage claim filed a few months ago, which is causing insurers to be cautious.This information surprised me, as it had not been disclosed by the seller.

Because, the lender is entitled to know what risk they are taking with their money.That being said, on seller financing, if someone gets sued and loses, the lien/judgement can be filed at the county, (it's not automatic, someone has to prepare and send the paperwork) which the bureaus will pick it up on producing a credit report.

But I noted that places like North Tonawanda as @Pravit Jarriyapurttipong mentioned are actually outside of Erie County, it's in Niagara County, which follows the stricter landlord laws as New York State... https://ag.ny.gov/sites/default/files/changes-in-nys-rent-la...Would you recommend sticking to Erie County boundaries for this purpose?

It occurred to me today that I've never asked about umbrella insurance claims.I’m particularly interested in real-world examples where this type of policy came through during:Property damage (fires, storms, floods, etc.)Liability claims involving tenants or third partiesMajor unforeseen eventsIf you’ve ever had to file a claim and your umbrella policy saved your bacon, I’d love to hear:What happened?

So, we file to foreclose, the borrower file BK, and we go through 2 years of BS.

I just don't know how well it would work since I already have all the entities and would just need advice, consulting, cleanup, and filing returns, that's pretty much it!

I’ve read quite a few posts about foreign investor financing but most seem to deal with non-citizen investors without US credit or personal tax filings.

When filing the LLC return, it is important to ensure that these liabilities are accurately reflected on the balance sheet.However, it's essential to note that distributing the refinance proceeds among LLC members could potentially be viewed as a taxable event if there is no intent to repay these amounts to the LLC.
