Is 2k worth fighting over?  

Having a licensed broker on your team (as a LLC minority partner) always helps if you are not licensed.Or just do not fight city hall and get licensed and act as a principal and declare that to all concerned.

On the 2nd - outstanding balance is $87k, which includes $17k of taxes and penalites (the 2nd just paid to stop a tax lien foreclosure).

See if anything is outstanding permit or code/zoning-wise.  

The borrower also must pay down the outstanding FHA mortgage (secondary liens do not need to be paid off or paid down) on the present property to a 75 percent or lower loan to value (LTV) ratio.

I have purchased properties from HomeSearch and if the property is vacant and title is transferd via a special warranty deed, you will get clear title and seller will take care of all outstanding HOA dues..  

I just continued that it was rented and that if another unit came up I could call her.Of course it didn't have anything to do with her boyfriend who had obviously lost a fight judging by the shiner he was wearing.

The other reason is, heaven forbid, you have to leave your job for whatever reason, you will probably have about 60 days to repay any loans you have outstanding.

But folks who don't mind fighting legal and regulatory issues are killing it there, like @Amit M.

The current owner has 155K outstanding on his 1st mortgage & 15K on a second.
