I have been working with CMHA for 10 years, 100s of move in and outs ,I deal with them weekly, so I am not speculating, 

What they won’t do is agree to pay you for your work.

Did you work with any real estate professionals (agents, lenders, etc.) that you'd recommend to others?

A good CPA will also make your life a lot easier. 

For example: Say I find a property that is $30-40k and needs another $30k in work.

I like Richard’s approach both as a coach but also as a human when it comes to life goals and etc.

The drawback would be if you only make minimum payments, the balance will never decrease.

@Theresa Harris I know the balance re cash flow and appreciation, but they should not claim there'll be cash flow if there won't be any.

your questions were all good, but that's all information you need to know before you even offer.and 2 visits probably won't be enough because you'll sell yourself on something you see and try to make it work.

The important language in your reply is "on their behalf" -- redirecting the principal's funds is not acting on their behalf.Seems to me the smartest/easiest way to deal with lender escrow accounts is to have that feature eliminated from the loan ASAP in the subto process... preferably immediately after an annual tax disbursement reduces the account balance to a low point.But yes, when the principal dies so does the power.
