Good luckI must have not communicated clearly.

I see that I wasn't clear in my description of our current situation and our goals. 

You'll see the Trump administration use tariffs as a way to get Mexico to open them back to exposure of such criminals, and herd them back in.Tomorrow, we'll get more clarity clearly. 

I suspect the owner could sell the property to a third party free and clear of your lender's claim to the income stream. 

But he has clear advantage of getting much larger deposit (landlord in most jurisdictions is limited to collecting 1.5 or 2 months' rent payment, which he must place in an escrow vs. $8000-$10000 Scott can collect and use for any purpose the next day). 

@Bruce Woodruff Haha yeah I probably should have been a little more clear.

In case I wasn't clear, you need a real estate lawyer in your state!

I feel bad for the pitbulls, they need to go somewhere but the owners also need to be responsible with them and as long as you make that clear then you shouldn't have a problem.

Stay consistent, set clear goals, and remember real estate is a long-term game that rewards patience and persistence!

With your equity and clear goals, you’re well-positioned to scale—best of luck!
