The historic committee had strict rules about what we could do on the outside of the house. 

If they are in our system we have the template at our bank.. we make a request via e mail.. bank calls ME I have to give my secret code.. they run over the basics of the wire and send it out.If its a first time wire.. my office will call the title company or lawyer were we are sending funds.. and verify in writing..

There of been several title companies that have had such losses in California in the last few years so we are finding that there’s a bit more strict and us even an old private deeds of trust and mortgages.

It requires a thorough understanding of zoning/future use, the municipalities' building codes, soil testing/standards, impact fees and more. 

Mine set door codes, message (or call) guests, schedule cleaners, adjust the thermostat, monitor my cameras, & call a plumber just as easily as a local PM can, for 1% of the cost.Hire good cleaners, a solid handyman & befriend some helpful neighbors.

I have not seen it in person yet, but strictly judging by the photos, it does not look like it needs a ton of work or rehab, possibly some paint and beautification.

My criteria are relatively strict for South Jersey standards and early on I saw an average of 8% vacancy each year (or about one month each year vacant) because of it. 

Absolutely, because they/their 'people' take the time to 'know' the many intricacies of the tax code & take every legal advantage to pay the minimum allowed by law.

Originally posted by @Brie Schmidt:@Sharukh Ahsan - About 5 days and we closed 10 days after the original closingThe thing is that the owners transferred the title to their living trust before the Lis Pendens.The Lis Pendens was served to both the owner and the living trust, however the foreclosure judgement only named the owners and not the living trust.So technically the living trust still has ownership on the title as the foreclosure judgement omitted it.My lawyer said Wells Fargo may need to do a strict foreclosure on the living trust to clear the title unless they can provide some sort of documentation the trust was included.By the way the owners names are on the living trust, if that matters.
