All that being said you need to have at least 20 to 30 real cash buyers that have proof of funds and a solid track record of closing.

Many hard/private money lenders overlook that and some even lend with no skin in the game, although not common without a prior relationship and or track record.3.

Did you pick the realtor who told you he could get you the highest price or did you pick the one that was good at their job and had a track record of selling properties quickly with happy clients?

This is a huge black mark on your insurance record and I could not find another insurer.

Use escrow, have a title report and record the deed and start making the payments.

It allows you to filter and buy the info per record.

Many places have limits on how much (percent wise) dues (where insurance is generally one of the largest expenses) can increase and I'd expect just about every coastal property to be above 10%, most well above unless capped by covenants, rules, or recorded declarations. 

HOWEVER, if you do get a judgment, PLEASE make sure to record it at your county recorder's office so everyone will know this is a deadbeat. 

There is a chance you do not possess paperwork from that long ago, in which case hopefully the former employer still exists and has records, you can also request tax returns transcripts from the IRS website or by filling out paperwork and mailing it in.Interestingly, banks don't do comprehensive criminal background checks (just for financial crimes specifically, though I've never personally worked on a loan where that came up, guess I'm not on the Wolf of Wall Street's speed dial).

These should be public information, so google "property tax records ____(your county)" and look it up.2) Insurance is another one to think about.
