In our experience every subsequent deal has been better than the prior!

The first and biggest piece I bought was paid for out of pocket, the subsequent two where purchased with seller carrying the mortgage at a rate of 3% (family friend, gave me a great deal!).

As far as I can tell there should be no issues--only one that came up is that my neighbor, who is 1/4 mile away and originally owned the house I'm buying, removed easement on her property from 1st deed and just let subsequent owners use her access road by informal agreement.

Was the land split off to make the condo's from a larger parcel which then came under a master deed and then subsequent individual deeds for each condo where the end result looked something like:Larger Parcel to 1/2 large parcel to Condo Project to Condo Unit, where the other 1/2 of large parcel remains unrestricted.

But, not sure the numbers would make sense, anymore, with the subsequent payment.  

Finally, I understand the seller has subsequently apologized for any offense caused by the curt language you referenced in one recent email, and that they have committed to completing your property expeditiously in accordance with the contract terms.

I suppose you can try to take the buyer's appreciation in years subsequent to closing, but I am not sure whether such a tactic is even legal whether the property is sold and title passes, or is held in escrow. 

Here is one situation where the first position might have done the "deed in lieu", or the second could have done the "deed in lieu" (cleaner if the second did it IMO), and all liens get paid off upon the SUBSEQUENT sale of the property.Not sure if this scenario would constitute a prohibited transaction or not ...

They charge per item so it can get expensive, but you can lower the cost quite a bit by working with one of their account reps.For the particular issue of loan balances, you can also do it yourself by using the original loan amount and original loan terms typically found on the deed of trust, and any subsequent notices that may impact it or provide more information - like a foreclosure notice.

There was a subsequent law which mitigated the insurance premiums but that is only in the short term.
