Rich Ng did you or the seller do anything about it afterwards?

@Rich Ng thanks for the great insight.

Lat house I sold I paid the fee.

@Micah Ng I joined bigger pockets two weeks ago and I just bought my first rental property in Windsor, ON!

Quote from @Amy Ng: I was wondering if anyone can give some advice using creative financing for purchasing my first investment property.

Like how long they have been there, do they have a lease, what maintenance did the former owner do, what have they done, do they want to stay, what are they paying for rent, did they give the owner a security deposit or lat months rent.They may have plenty of questions for you and you may want to be vague about how you answer.It is rare that you get to speak to the current tenants and even see the property before foreclosure You may end up being held responsible for any security deposit they will claim to have given to the former landlord.If you do purchase be sure to advise them immediately and end any tenancy, get them a new application so you know exactly who you are dealing with etc.

@Rich Ng That's what I would really like to do, but after listening to podcast number 109 I'm still a little nervous about that because the attorney they were interviewing said that insurance isn't really the same as liability protection and if a lawyer sees that you have assets and claims you had malicious intent then the insurance won't cover it...

@Rich Ng definitely.  

@Damon Ng I know it is a bummer, but that actually doesn't sound as horrible as I was thinking.

@Rich Ng wouldn't mind getting to know more about portfolio lenders in MA.
