Hey Al,You can read up on CA tenant/landlord laws here but I didn't see anything specifically relevant to your situation on pages 37-40 under repairs;www.dca.ca.gov/publications/landlordbook/catenant.pdf?

If the addresses listed in public records/assessors office are the same as the abandon property than what strategies can be used to locate them?

Has anyone tried to establish an HOA in an existing space?

There is no public information related to the purchase or sale of a mortgage/dot for price.

Margin space at the top and bottom, sides, font size = pages to be filed with many standard documents = $$$$$$$ Filing feesWhile it does standardize documents, many attorneys may have charges per page = $$$$$Need a copy of filed documents from the Recorder= $$$$$Fees to be charged are often regulated by statute at the state level and is in some places seen as a taxing issue, so they can manipulate an increase by requiring the number of pages to present a deed or assignment for example.

So, having said that...this one's a bit of a twist, given that it's classified as a Condo, however this space can be utilized as an office facility.

Receiving a written confirmation from a registered broker-dealer, SEC-registered investment adviser, licensed attorney, or certified public accountant that such entity or person has taken reasonable steps to verify the purchaser's accredited status.I highlighted the "non exclusive" bit, which I think (not a lawyer, though) means there could be other methods.

Are there factors that should be considered that aren't so obvious in buying a space?

Most rehabbers that i know don't pull permits for anything other then serious structural work that changes square footage (room additions, expansions) and other new beneficial additions that need to be reflected on the title or public records (new HVAC with ductwork, changes of gas water heater to electric, etc).Hire a good good licensed contractor to give you an unofficial honest opinion for a nominal fee, make notes of everything he says, then hire an official inspector, see what he finds and also point out the things contractor mentioned to discus further.

You're going where you don't need to go at all, a sale contract is all ready made for a buyer to acquire good title, free of encumbrances, that would mean that you are to receive the full bundle of rights of ownership unless there are restrictions to title like a utility easement or HOA restriction made of public record.
