I would make the payments directly to the mortgage company and would either have the statements mailed to me or see what I would need to do to get online access to review the account.In looking online, I see a few other strategies such as deeding the property to a land trust where the buyer would be the beneficiary and some people discussing the transaction with the bank and being open about it.

I’m pretty sure something else is coming up after the heater’s fixed and it’ll be non stopping, also it’s getting warmer in north cal.Is it a really bad idea to carry out UD process when there’s outstanding repairs going on?

Is there demand to purchase the lot and develop as a private parking lot, with the option to rent space/access to the  tenant/owner (gov't)?
