Many times the investors is working with little or no money or ability to get a loan......but he is motivated to make a deal work and make money.Here are a creative idea that may work for you............Control and Roll:  Control a property with a delayed settlement with the right of possession and contingent on assignment.

USE OF MARIJUANA NOTICE: The State of Colorado's Amendment 64 legalizes the cultivation and possession and use of marijuana by persons 21 years of age or older.

Generally, yes.BUT, you may be required to re-file it once you take possession.

Property owner came into possession via Quiclaim Deed and all that paperwork is fine.

Recording provides what's called constructive notice.Clearly if someone had bought the property and took possession, ie moved in, you should pursue extended title insurance which I believe covers 'property inspection' to assess possession issues.I'm hopeful that someone else will chime in to confirm or dispute my statements.

Creative investors then realized that purchasing the property from the homeowner before the lender regained possession was often a good option, through a short sale arrangement, assignment, etc.

It must be vacant before you take possession.

.____________________________________10-DAY NOTICE FOR FAILURE TO PAY RENTDATE OF NOTICE: TENANT IN POSSESSION:LEASED PREMISES:To Tenant Name:You are notified to vacate the following property not more than ten (10) days after you receive this notice unless you pay the rent due on the property within ten (10) days: Address of the propertyFAILURE TO COMPLY will result in court proceedings for the landlord to regain possession, rents owed and any other charges permitted under state name law.

This works out very well for me as they're pretty much fully occupied for the whole low season and then I get possession again for the summer and charge the high nightly rate again.

If they fall into this category, you may need to look for a similar or equivalent apartment near by at same rent or higher before you can take possession of the apartment.
