It's just the getting started part I need help on.

The balance on the condo books would have been accumulating while only a years worth of maintenance would be collectable from the bank, but from a non-bank party, I believe they would have to pay all of the association fees that were in arrears.

Once you have a property under contract, depending on the contract type,  you can assign the rights to the contract to a 3rd party.  

I see your points.One of the things you might be running into is that the IRS's budget was slashed dramatically after the whole Tea Party/Non Profit debacle a few years back.  

I believe in Indiana, you have to give notice to all known parties who have an interest in the property.

If the residence you sold is a condo wouldn't the owner's association by the responsible party for termite damage to the structure?

So my question is, how do you purchase a property if there are more than two parties involved for an investment?

Also, I suggest you have a good message to leave on voicemail and a different one for 3rd parties who will likely mess up your message when passing along to your target.When able, door knock.

Additionally, we use a third party to run the laundry room and I am told that they do very well money wise.
