I have purchased properties from HomeSearch and if the property is vacant and title is transferd via a special warranty deed, you will get clear title and seller will take care of all outstanding HOA dues..  

They ship frozen pizzas nationwide so I usually get an order once/year for a taste of home.

The other reason is, heaven forbid, you have to leave your job for whatever reason, you will probably have about 60 days to repay any loans you have outstanding.

The current owner has 155K outstanding on his 1st mortgage & 15K on a second.

@William Pickett It may have been because the other party had better credit than your tenant, or; the tenant has outstanding bills at the power company, or; someone else is going to be living there as well. other people paying for utilities happens occasionally when a friend is planning to live there as well.

My Title/Escrow received information back from the HOA that there is currently an outstanding unpaid balance of the HOA dues. 

And, what might be an outstanding investment approach in a specific local in Cleveland would probably be a disaster in a specific local in Ventura, California.

Most of these cards require monthly payments of something like 2 or 2.5% of the outstanding balance.
