As it's well-known, it's very difficult to achieve something near the 2% rule in markets like Honolulu and the Bay Area so having a large factor like HOA fees out of our control increases our anxiety about condos being our first purchase.Although we are apprehensive about entering a RE market with such high entry prices, we are even more apprehensive about investing remotely (only other market we are interested in is the SF Bay Area, where both of our families are).

Hello all,My name is Denise Mayo-Walley and I reside in Sugar Land, TX with my husband and 2 kids.My husband and I will be entering the field of real estate investing with a buy & hold strategy and a long term goal of generating enough income to cover our living expenses.

If you have real concerns I'd say ask your Realtor and/or attorney.To reality, I doubt you're going to be in a long drawn out matter of possession, just to the garage, I doubt this widow will be fighting with you or trying to enter the living area.You do have an obligation to safeguard her belongings, they are in somewhat of your care, custody and control, you can't just though her stuff on the street.

If the names are always in LastName, FirstName format (Smith, Joe) you can use You can use Data | Text to Columns and use the Comma to separate the data into different columns.However many times I have seen a mixture of how the name is entered...Joe SmithSmith JoeSmith, JoeJoeSmithSure you could split by a space, but what a happens when a last name has a space like Van Wilder?

Are you under contract or still "looking" -- many contracts I see state that Owner is not allowed to enter into any leases or other contracts (laundry leases, management contracts, etc.) for the property without Buyer's consent.If you are just looking, you have no control except to pass on the deal.

I've recently decided to apply some of my knowledge, as limited as that may be, and begin trying to enter an application phase.

Also, if you want to see the condo doc.s now, they're available online on the Broward county clerk of court site, Official records search--under Document Type, select CDO (condo documents) and enter the name of the condo association.

A property may be sold subject to any lien or encumbrance by describing it in the deed of conveyance, a special warranty deed, unless state law prohibits transfer of title rights with outstand taxes due.If that is the case, you can enter into an installment sale if that is allowed in your state where you obtain equitable title but not legal title until the contract is fulfilled, look at a contract for deed or land contract, you need to see an attorney as you will probably have issues executing deeds under these contracts that circumvent foreclosure laws, you can do a contract without executing a quit claim deed and implement a different security agreement, so see an attorney.You could also use a lease-option, if that is appropriate for what you want to do, it would not be appropriate if you will be making repairs.Anyone can pay the taxes due
