USAA does have an agreement with a third party company, but they were much more expensive for much less coverage.

I would offer that you place a third party manager that is acceptable to the seller in lieu of a bond.

Homeowner Association Information Request2.what statements define the terms of an agreement and give the other party cause to void an offer if the terms are not met?

Now you negotiate to come to a point that both parties are happy.

They must pay the same as any other redeeming party--12% interest per year on the taxes due plus 12% on the overbid, up to 15% of the overbid (example below).

We haven't tried bringing private investors and third-party money because we want to gain more experience before doing that; we also have enough capital to invest for ourselves, as long as we can get financing to get a higher cash on cash. it just doesn't make sense to go hundred percent equity into rental property. 

The difficult part is not letting your soft side give them the benefit of the doubt and allow them to get too far behind in the first place. 

Hi Spencer,Welcome to the party and best wishes with your goal!

For the most part, I can see a fair 10% increase, that’s normal and in line with the market place.

I don't want to be at a cocktail party 20 years from now talking about I wish I never sold.Frank
