Unclear if the lien has expired, and if surplus funds would go to the COA According to the COA State laws i found this:Thelien is not effective 1 year after the claim of lien was recordedunless, within that time, an action to enforce the lien is commenced.The 1-year period is automatically extended for any length of timeduring which the association is prevented from filing a foreclosureaction by an automatic stay resulting from a bankruptcy petitionfiled by the parcel owner or anyother person claiming an interest in the parcel.

(for traveling nurses/visiting physicians), Yale students/visiting families (for short-term), adjunct professors, researchers, grad students etc. 

here's a short answer. 

The remember that all liens will fall off after the foreclosure, however IRS liens have a 4 month redemption, this is a something to make note of because you can’t remodel anything until the redemption period.

The only reasons I would consider it would be to qualify for some private loan if I didn't want the loan to be under my personal name or if I was looking to finance a property before the seasoning period.

I’m planning on getting a short term Investment property in Houston texas but I have some concerns due to the fact I live out of state.

If you are within the period of your lease, they can not increase your rent. 

The business is so much easier once you get rid of the debt.Other people may think it's more or less but that is what happened in our portfolio (adjusted to your figures and excluding commercial) over 2 15 year periods from 1990 - 2005 and 2008-2024.

You will want to consider the seasoning period guidelines (how long you have owned the property).

Long long story short, I wouldn’t pay extra for a pool property but I also wouldn’t avoid a house with a pool.
