Originally posted by Jeff Beard:See you are in California too, and you need to look up and understand Community Property law in this state.Regardless of how the the title is registered, whatever the husband owns, the wife has 50% interest in and conversely, so your goal dies before you get started with this attempt.That's probably 100% spot on for divorce court,  but not for mortgages in our state.

It's essentially a verification proceeding to establish the tax deed process was done correctly.  

Any way you proceed, dig into the podcasts and start thinking about what niche interests you. 

Please let us know how the conversation goes and how you proceed. 

I have one rental property that I am going to sell and use the proceeds to invest in a small multifamily apartment building in Colorado.  

I take the proceeds from the sale, plus a few bucks of my own, and buy all of them.  

She vacated the apartment rather than be hauled into court (hooray!).  

It has been ruled not suspicious.The charges will now be sorted out by the courts and penalties range from $2,000 to $50,000 for individuals.

All of this case law could be applied (at the Federal level) in considering what constitutes an unacceptable delinquency rate for loans made on primary residences if the courts agree.Any operator, no matter how small, should be prepared to defend their delinquency rates, and to work smarter and more effectively at decreasing them.

To my understanding in real estate law  a person cannot stop paying arbitrarily because of issues  if they are residing in the property they still should pay in lieu of findings from a court etc  if they have not paid you  for your monthly rent  then your recourse is to evict them . of course going to the legal process which unfortunately take some time  if you  PM me  I will send you the statue that you can show to them that hopefully  causes them to continually pay  it would be different if you were a  bad landlord and wasn't trying to take care of the property  they should see that you are remedy the situation it sounds to me that they are just trying to take advantage of the situation or honestly believe that they are in the right
