I will make the change on all the documents I have regarding this issue.

@Lew Payne If the HOA wants to foreclose the lien they have to record documents.

We did our closing in part via electronic documents, found a notary for our signatures on the hard copies and used FedEx to send the paperwork back.You don't mention investing at a distance, as I have done, but research is research.  

Definitely require documentation of all claims to protect both yourself and your investment.

To do most of preliminary searches, I use a free county searches that only show you the index, have to pay to see all the documents.  

- Bank could require new documents- Bank could decline the seller for short sale and/or recommend loan modification- Bank could request a promissory note and the seller declines.- 2nd Lien or Judgement Lien could require more than they are allowed by the 1st.- Appraisal can come in too high- Appraisal can become too old and bank require new.. the list goes on and on.  

LLCs are required to file Organizational documents and annual reports with the state.

With proper documentation you are all set up.

Documentation and independent witnesses are very important.

Was anything documented in the contract?
