The complaint is a lawsuit against you for the debt you owe.As part of the lawsuit they will request to foreclose on the property to try and recoup their money.

Check reference, visit past job sites to see quality, check for lawsuits, verify their insurance and license, etc. 

@Nimit A. if a PM allowed $60k of damage to occur at one of my properties, I'd file a lawsuit on principle alone. 

If you fail to follow the rules, you may open your personal assets to a lawsuit.

Doing so will provide liability protection and shield your personal assets from potential lawsuits or claims related to the property. 

HOA Lien purchases is a game that can be quite lucrative assuming:1) property is in judicial state (states where lender must file lawsuit to acquire property title)2) purchaser is well versed in foreclosure law 3) purchaser researches hoa cc&r 4) think of arbitrage not capital gains when assessing risk

But if you're not in an actual lawsuit tying up your house and your lawyer reviewed your expired contract and said you're clear to sell, then move forward on your lawyer's advice. 

And I had 50k at risk.7. lawsuit takes about 2 years  seller NEVER EVER respond Judge made us go the fully Monty before he would rule.

Can't you word it to where the Seller understands what is happening and keep the buyer free from lawsuit?
