The property assessment in 2015 was around $89k, but the property needs some cleanup done, if I had stayed in Alaska longer I would have done this cleanup myself, and went for about $70k for a quick sale, but we moved due to my parents health concerns before I could do that.

Stay safe and dry out there with this little storm hitting us.Thanks.

I know some investors got out before hand, and that's one way, but what if you stay in?

So all money would stay in my control.

Best bet if he/she wants to stay they must sign the lease or leave the property.

Now the sellers son has decided to stay and squat at the property for another month til the end of September, with the exception all of the escrow security funds coming back to me (buyer), am I entitled to split or give up any of the escrow funds with the sellers son due to him squatting in my new property.

Just my opinion but if you can avoid it stay away from HOA or association.

Hope you get a change to check out the great guides on the site.

Stay persistent and consistent and you will eventually get to reach your goal.
