They almost forced me to completely abandon a deal because of their stubborn underwriting department who couldn't see the forest through the trees.

The house was about to be demolished and was abandoned by my family but the payments were kept up.

Ideally we are looking for an abandoned school, senior care facility, dormitory, sober living center, YMCA, rehab center, or something along those lines.

If they get deported, I suddenly have a unit abandoned, or even worse, half a family (wife and kids?)

It is an abandoned house and probably needs at least $50000 worth of work.

I'm glad I caught that early this year so I can start reserving for it.I like land in the Arizona desert because 1) I know I won't be buying an abandoned house that costs more to repair than it's worth; and 2) It's all sand and tumbleweed so if they are redeemed, I don't have to worry about the city fining me or having liens on the property for overgrown weeds :)Interest rate is 16% this year though it seems lately you end up in a loss position after the lawyer charges fees for noticing (that $20 in interest is offset by a $100 legal bill for notice of redemption prior to filing in court).

Abandoning the lease makes it due and payable.

Anything they leave behind is considered abandoned property and you don’t have to keep it or store it for them or anything like in other states.

Both people abandoned the property.  

But if it is obviously abandoned, say so in the letter.
