.- my fingers are also crossed- but I think you may have misread- I was the owner- I sold the house with the tenant- signed, sealed and paid for, we pulled the final bill to settle and discovered the city has not been charging my tenant for the last few years - the outstanding bill every single month has been zero - up till now. 

Technically when you sell, the money to retire the mortgage will go back into your SDRSP and will not be available to re-invest in your next property.In that case, if your SDRSP is capable of holding the entire mortgage of the buyer ... or if the buyer finds another lender for the balance and you are willing/able to hold the current outstanding mount as either a second or in pari passu, you might simply replace your non-arms length mortgage with an arms-length mortgage and have your registered account continue to be the bank.  

I am not sure if the market surge is real or the fleeting reaction to the impending Amazon HQ arrival.

I would like to know when there is a outstanding state tax lien on me and the state is considering an offer in compromise to resolve the issue.

When you buy auction properties you are subject to all liens, taxes, outstanding utility bills etc, and the bank (seller) does not have to let you in for inspections, even smoke inspections. 

@Trevor Ierien I can’t speak for the US but I can certainly speak for northern NJ and say the level of competition and amount of appreciation it has seen in recent years is outstanding.

It has been fine for 2 years and NOW it is not.Then is was "We will pay but only half the rent because the place has a main line water leak the previous landlord never fixed because her husband died and they could not afford to fix it so our water bill is very high and  we have paid the outstanding $4,000 balance down to $1,000 but you need to fix this."  

The tenant was advised in writing and verbal "the lease will not be renewed unless  outstanding fees are paid within 5 days.

If they address the outstanding amounts owed within the 7-days the order is rescinded.  

A Section 8 applicant can usually not meet the standard criteria like verifiable income of 3x rent(does not matter the source), 2 years of employment history, Minimum credit scores, no evictions, no legal actions from a landlord, no outstanding debt to a utility company, etc.
