It made the whole process feel a lot safer.

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....

But I think it's a little safer this way

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.

This is my first home, I'm 38, early in my career, and will eventually need to sell the home to buy in my target area.Its probably looking like selling the home and investing the cash until I need to buy down the road will be the best bet.

I bet they won't be paying much.
