I would say getting power of attorney to your folks would be the best bet in signing the closing documents for your purchase.

Then I make a bet with him, I bet I can get her phone number in less than three minutes talking to her.

The best bet is having an inside track.

You won't be "asssuming" a loan out of foreclosure, I'd bet on it.The loan may be caught up, depends on what's going on.If #2 above, an heir may assume an existing mortgage.

I only read the original post, mainly because no one knows your laws or customs.HOAs here usually overstep their authority, folks on the board usually have limited RE or legal experience.IMO, your denying access was overstepping by leaps and bounds, if you don't have the right to place a lien on the rights of ownership I'd bet you sure can't deny all the rights of ownership keeping them out.I'd be surprised if denying others to enter would be acceptable either.Seems if you know the guy is moving out that would be a good thing, he might sell it to someone more responsible.I suppose if your law says pay or go to jail, he'd be going to jail.

Asad, your best bet starting out is to find a Mentor to partner with.

I bet I was their only client from Oregon LOL....

@Kenneth Hyneslook at IRS publication 523 page 13 left column "Qualified Official Extended Duty".You are on qualified official extended duty if you are on extended duty while:Serving at a duty station at least 50 miles from your main home,or Living in Government quarters under Government or-ders.You are on extended duty when you are called or or-dered to active duty for a period of more than 90 days or for an indefinite period.Based on that I do not believe once you get out of the military that you can use the exclusion due to the failure to meet either of the prescribed conditions listed above.

I have not seen the date for the March meetup, but I bet it will be toward the end of the month, so you should be able to make it.

I suspect the elementary school is a "1" or "2" so I wouldn't want to bet on appreciation.You're also pretty close to Atlanta's only war zone (English Ave area) where houses are $10k and crime is a serious issue.
