I am currently under contract on a home and would love to get feedback on the deal and ideas on how to proceed with negotiation.

Talk to a local eviction company/lawyer to make sure evictions are proceeding.

@Justin Brown What do you plan to do with the proceeds? 

I wouldn’t bother with the refi on home #2 I’d just take some of these proceeds and pay off the pool loan  Stop listening to any radio show that says your loan balance has anything to do with your taxes, they should be removed from the air. 

Adjacent to the main building is a pelota court and a single-story motel, open to overnight guests.

I paid them for a quit claim and proceeded to sell the property.

Context: I'm AD military and I'll be moving in a few months and seeking advice from the bigger pockets collective on the best way to proceed.  

I spoke with my broker and the real estate attorneys we usually work with, they said, as long as the plaintiff/ tenant's attorney is able to file a motion or whatever and relate the intentional of the out-of-state company with tax evasion matter, then they can have the liability court in the city where the property is located after the first motion is resolved.

If they figure out what they are afraid of, they can work out what they need to in order to proceed.

Why not give the property to the one person best able to handle it, and then other assets to other folks to equalize as desired, or alternatively simply sell the property at death where there will be no gain and split the proceeds.
