Account ClosedNice to see you participating in the forums ... and the small step forward of dropping one of your frequent {stuffed} keywords from your post.The handling of a squatter vs a tenant will undoubtedly differ with jurisdictions, so the ultimate advice is to consult your legal counsel on the matter.The crucial distinction - at least here - that that a squatter had no legal right to be at the premises and is essentially in trespass / illegal possession of the property.  

You need to be one step ahead of the competition.

Get right on it so they know your serious, and stay in close communication each step of the way so it doesn’t get away from you! 

I can't seem to find any resources that help me understand whether the HOA steps into position after the primary mortgage or whether the super lien (6 months of assessments ahead of all other mortgages) will only get the HOA their 6 months of assessments and then the primary mortgage and HELOC will get everything else. 

After getting burnt out at a corporate job, I've decided to pursue real estate full-time.

From there, I intend to pursue a buy and hold strategy, ideally focusing on small multi-family units.

Now I have a better understanding in the paying process but it was baby sitting in every step.

I guess I’m kind of a late bloomer, pursued a medical career out of college and that has dominated the last decade of my life.

I'm sure several of you have done this, a step by step would be great along with what to look out for.Thanks!

What is my next step going forward?
