We also have organized a local meetup and if your interested message me I would be happy to extend an invitation.

At this point, my agent tells me that we can't continue with the second buyer (#2) since we don't have a signed Mutual Release agreement.  

The neighbor next door to this house is a buddy, and he told me the Gal (not guy) just got released, and was there yesterday with an insurance adjuster for the robbery that precipitated the visit from the cops a month ago.

I believe Fannie Mae did away with HomePath financing late last year.As an investor you can purchase HUD properties once they hit the extended period.

Knowing what to expect will release any stress you feel about the situation.In the future, if you want your rent on the first of the month, you should change your lease to say that rent is late as of the second of the month and the late fee will apply as of then.

If you want to get the juiciest deals, IMHO, you'll need to track for an extended period of time.

@Christopher GoldieAre you saying that your title company closes and funds thereby giving your end buyer title and releases the funds to you for you to go to another title company and close with HUD ?

You can always ask your seller for a modified owner finance agreement, extending out to three years, you have nothing to lose by doing so.    

the big time lawyer owner won't release any information.
