I spoke direct to the title company and they said they couldn't "keep" it but they could make it so nobody got it by not releasing it.... 

I want to have some passive income so I don't HAVE to grind away at my body and spirit to pay the bills.

It's been fascinating to learn about the Mexican residential property market, I've been making a lot of rewarding connections with good people, and there's much worse ways to spend time than tooling around the Baja in a jeep looking at oceanfront properties. 10/10 experience so far, would recommend.Mike, your body of posts served as a very helpful primer for buying in Mexico.

However what some of these borrowers do not realize is that they cannot sell the property until the lien is released. 

I'd like to see if this influx of higher list prices and inventory moved had anything to deal with the buyer aggression that festered as a result of the entire REI shutdown when COVID started and was released from the flood gates once made essential.  

Always check for soil deformations/collapse in case a body (or Tiger) had been buried there lol

Men with body armor and rifles raiding the unit next to you tends to make neighbors question the safety of themselves and their kids.And finally you have to consider if you can evict her at this time and what that will take.Hope this helps.Mike

Because of that you are going to see the market continue to move upwards in the markets until the banks are allowed to release foreclosure inventories back into the market.

Maybe the release is healthy and prevents an internal malignant build up.Whichever way people choose to deal with dishonest individuals I think it is a reality that is this business you will run across them on a regular business.

Only thing I want to add is that most carriers allow you to backdate cancel up to two weeks without providing proof (just need a signed loss policy release (LPR) form).
