(still learning how to use it best but getting better everyday)My website is almost up( hopefully today), got my Bandit Signs ready, working on a nice,specific Absentee Owner list, have my cards, flyers (still refining them), learning the complicated Probate process (which is becoming less complicated thanks to your posts), got access to MLS (through a friend) and the www and learning about the beauty and effectiveness of the Social Networking World (one scary puppy I tell you!).

All third parties are hereby put on notice that any leases, assignments by the Landlord/Seller, liens, options, mortgages, or any other conveyances or transfers occurring subsequent to the date of the Lease/Option are hereby declared by the Landlord/Seller to be null and void and of no force and effect.

What are the terms of the mortgage (fixed rate, arm, time left on the mortgage, a balloon note etc...)I can no longer speak intelligently about wrap sales because of the new laws that have taken effect and I have not kept up with them.I hope this helps.

If you are assigning the contract to someone else the original contract is still in effect and he should be using the original title company specified in the contract.

I suppose, if needed, you could give him an assignable contract; if he rebuttals with something to the effect of him needing his sales folks, etc.  

Coupling intermittent inspections with this policy seems like it may be more effective.

Tearing the house down effectively eliminates my new found $50k in equity.

In NYS are any laws in effect that would preclude someone who has a NMLS license, from acting as a liaison between a Private Lender who is lending on a NON OWNER OCCUPIED acquisition construction loan for a Builder?
