I agreed to effectively a short sale: mortgagee sold property and I received all proceeds, which did not quite cover the principal amount and thus didn't cover any of the accumulated interest.

Devon, yes, you will receive a pro-rated return on both taxes and insurance for the unused days.

I receive rent checks and deposit them in my bank. 

The seller receives a total of $150,000.

People mistakenly believe that because they paid for the appraisal and they receive a copy of it, it has something to do with them - it doesn't.

I have a lot of information I am trying to get about this property to make sure I have a smooth transition.Also, how are you receiving the rents?  

I’ve done a bit of research but don’t know where to start to apply these.I have enough capital for 4-5 down-payments, should I be transferring these amounts to my old Canadian bank account before getting pre-approved before receiving a loan or I can do everything with my overseas bank account if the loans are cheaper here?

And, I actually received a check at closing so I did not pay any closing cost.

I asked for it from customer support on here and haven't received a response.

But in an ideal world, my original realtor and I would have continued working together and he would have received the full commission.
