You need to be listed as an additional insured and a certificate holder.

It's a minimum 2 years before the certificate holder could apply to send it to a tax deed auction, if they do.  

Holders may not get the returns that the Flippers get but they do have steady returns.

If your mortgage holder will not allow the transfer of the title without the loan being due, you can try to find a lender that will allow it and refinance the mortgage I suppose, but that is in no way any kind of legal, tax, or business advice as I am not a CPA or lawyer.

@Carl MccroryWholesalers usually market directly to motivated sellers (out of state landlords, pre-foreclosures, probates, etc.) to find properties offered at a discount suitable for investors (fix and flippers and buy n holders) to buy.  

Does the market suggest that now is a better time to for a flipper than a buy and holder?

The servicing company had a written agreement that they were obligated to forward a $476.17 principal and interest payment to the first position underlying lender and another $125.41 to the second underlying lien holder.

I think her activity has died down a bit,she used to have 20-30 smoking hot deals at any given time, but a quick look says she has 6 listings total anymore.The problem/issue I've seen with most Realtors, and this isn't anyone specific is that for investment they're going to heavily favor flippers and not buy-and-holders.

That estate attorney isn't the best IMO, but.....Get with other lien holders, come to an agreement to release the liens, in writing.Next buy the note, then ask the estate attorney to provide a deed in lieu of foreclosure, the borrower doesn't need a good credit standing!

The key is  that your intermediary will take title to the land as the "Exchange Accommodatong Title holder" (eat).
