The distinction here is yes, the UPB is the amount of "unpaid principal due on the loan" but that is not necessarily the same as "the amount due the holder".  

There is (obviously) a distinct and profound factor of leads that NEED to sell vs WANT to sell.

Neither of you would want this.I would then have an eviction attorney serve the proper (3) or (5) day notice or whatever is appropriate, and do so over their letterhead so that she knows you're ready should a cooporerstive move-out not occur.In future, have a separate and distinct document signed that decreases the seller's cash due to delays at a rapid rate.if the value of rent is $100/day, double or triple the potential damages should your next seller delay.I figured out some time ago that people are going to do what they want to.

I was given the terms qualifying and disqualifying and wasn't real clear on the distinction aside from your family/friends couldn't live there.With that being said, I would have to do this property the "old fashion" way and be subjected to paying taxes.

That is a very big distinction from how much you can afford for a down payment.

1) Don't buy 2nd's unless you know what you're doing (which you probably don't).2) Don't forget to check for all the other liens that might stay with the property, but do make distinctions between liens that stay with the property and liens that don't.3) Don't by sight unseen unless you're trying to place a ridiculous amount of capital and you can make it up on volume.4) Don't buy without determining occupancy status and the "temperature" of the occupants.5) If the guys that show up every day are bidding on something, you probably can't make it work on your margins.6) Don't get emotional.7) Seriously, don't get emotional.

There are plenty of areas in DC that make good investments, each with their distinct pluses and minuses.

There is a distinct difference between investing in real estate that produces cash flow and using their own cash to buy that cash flow.

Then add in the two distinctly different types of buyers for these properties, the investor and the owner-occupant, and you get two different price points as well.What I'm getting at here, is when it's time to refinance, you will need relevant comparable data in your area to back it all up.

There is also a vast distinction between "social benefits" for citizenry (which exist in both our countries), a "socialist nation" (which neither Canada or the U.S.A. are) and corporate welfare (which is alive and well in both our countries).I invite you to step outside the keyword stuffing echo-chamber in which all your existing participation on BP has been and participate in the larger community  - it would be an opportunity to learn about your neighbours.
