And we still had our keys..... so i dont really know where WE broke the lease when we still had possession of the property and were still paying rent....

I agree they are charging interest on something they never owned or possessed.

I'm wondering the best approach to take possession of the property.

Even if the lender is required to "possess" (Not the same as "produce") the original note, don't count on them losing it as a "Get a home for free" card.

Also, would it be easier to get refinancing since the house is already under possession?

I received a writ of possession a few weeks ago and the Marshall. was scheduled for Thursday of this week.

Tell the Judge the suit is for $XXX and possession of the property. 

We stipulated in Lease that Monies were NON-REFUNDABLE after Tenant took possession, except for "Acts Of God" (Hurricane, Tornadoes, Floods, etc) that might make the property uninhabitable.  

This is definitely discussed at the beginning, prior to them taking possession of the property.Happy InvestingDerek Dombeck
