If the deal truly is outstanding, meaning you could buy and fix for 65% or less of ARV, you should have NO problems finding money.

What is the best online resource to look up the amount of equity (or outstanding loan amount) on a certain property?  

However, you have to be careful of the senior lien holder asking for unpaid principle+interest+penalty fees; sometimes this can be far higher than the face value of the outstanding principal balance.

There is a 12M funding coming in w/ new equity partners in 2 months which pays off all outstanding debt. 

@Jay Hinrichs  Thanks for your posts on this thread as well as your many outstanding other posts throughout the site.

Once this outstanding receivable goes beyond a certain point in time (days overdue) it is moved into "bad debts" and eventually, if it remains uncollected, will be written off.This is how we handle delinquencies. 

@David Veeder, thank you for the outstanding and thorough response.  

The general rule is that a veteran may have only one outstanding VA loan at a time.   

Some certificate holders just hope to collect the minuscule interest rates (minimum 5% total regardless of how many years), or some may have realized the property isn't worth the total of their certificate, plus all the other outstanding certificates which they would have to pay off to send to auction.  

On the other hand, the renters are buying that investment for me... but 27 more years is a damn long time for that to payoff.As far as selling, we owe $235 and the same realtor told me it would sell for $285k to $295.So now as I'm thinking about it, getting ~$40k immediately by selling is sounding better and better.I guess the third option... rent it for a few years while the market hopefully keeps going up, and sell it while the place still seems nice and new.I would greatly appreciate any insights, thoughts, advice....
