The HOA should be on top of the situation, as in they should be coordinating all the vendors through the insurance company.

Next month I will be preparing my Daughter's home in Fayetteville, NC to sale.

Many didn't even try to short sale because it was of little benefit to them, and this resulted in entire neighborhoods being nearly vacant.

Every estate sale is a house that's waiting to be sold.

THE SALE COMPLETION IS SUBJECT TO APPROVAL BY MORTGAGEE."

What kind of risk factors would cause a tax deed buyer loses his total amount of tax deed purchase after the tax deed auction sale?

The certificate of sale isn't issued until 10 days after the funds have been issued, but not title.  

I am not familiar with LA tax sale law but I would ask who they underwrite on and if they provide indemnity letters. 

If you can sell it for $284,000 ARV and pay off $203,000 mortgage, you have $81,000 equity in the place (that you can keep in the rental, or cash out upon sale (less selling expenses).So, $251/month cash flow ($3010 per year) is now just a 3.7% annual return on your $84,000 equity "invested".

I have been looking for a 2 flat that needs a little work on the west side (Logan square / Humboldt park area), and there are maybe 2 for sale!
