This often comes as a huge surprise very late in the process of a sale.Sure, the title company may have screwed up (they may have even listened to the borrower assuring them no, I don't have a 2nd) but ultimately the debt is for the original borrower to pay.

Assuming you got that loan with no origination, underwriting, appraisal or other fees/costs. 

I’ve had to evict the original tenants, got rid of a roach infestation, and the electrical seems iffy.

So I obtained the original survey of the home when it was built and at different points when it was sold (I was fortunate in that family had owned it before me and I was able to do the research to get to all of those surveys).

I originally lived in it for a year, while if fixed it up so i only had to put 5% down + closing costs(25,000), and the property has appreciated 8% over the past two years(20,000) but not sure if i should rent it at a loss and structure the lease so i am  in a more favorable leasing cycle, or plan to sell it.
