And as @Jay Hinrichs mentions, in some states the borrower can reinstate and you become the owner of a paying (or in many cases, a non-paying note again) and you need to start the foreclosure process all over again.It sounds like you may have a tape from Kondaur, they are notorious for taking their loans right up to the foreclosure then dispose of them. 

Hello All, I am not sure if there is a rule of thumb to how much a design should cost but I received an estimate of $23K for Civil engineering work (site plan, storm drainage plan, site grading, soil erosion & utility plan), $25k for  Architectural and structural and $11K for MEP for 12 units townhouse (2 bed and 2.5 bath) on a slab.

@Rhia MckissicMost states require a lease to identify the owner of a leased property, whether a person, trust, LLC, IRA, etc.Landlord = Lord of the Land = Owner per deedAgent = someone legally representing the ownerProperty Manager = Agent

Sometimes it is only owners and guests when the owner is onsite.

None of that matters because the algorithm and pacing of the sites and their own personal directives change faster than the speed of light.

In other words, escrow doesn't close until the current owner has completed the eviction process and the tenant is gone.
