I want to thank everyone here for not selling any get rich quick stuff, and explaining HOW to put in the hard work to see results.I feel like I am headed down the right path, and I will be sure to share successes and failures when they come. 

I have also been faced with the fear of failure . 

My plan is to change the locks and post a letter on the door 24 hours prior stating due to lack of communication, failure to provide the keys, failure to allow entry, and perceived abandonment.

failure and success.

Some, you have to treat them as if they were your children and just educate them, hold their hand a little bit until they get the process down packed. and if they can't then don't renew their lease/ worst case scenario evict based on failure to follow agreed upon lease/policy of the building.

Mom and pop have  a higher failure rate average than national chains and super regional tenants.Built in the 80's is a very old strip center.

Any suggestions in dealing with HOAs that are not willing to discount the back dues owed, even from their failure to prosecute the delinquent prior owner only because their CC&R allows them to claim everything and the kitchen sink?

First off, I think the Tax Court would view such a transaction as “running one’s personal services (here brokerage services, aka putting buy & seller together for a fee) through a Roth”, treat the profit on the “assignment” of the contract as personal services, treat the money in the Roth as an excess contribution, and penalize the taxpayer for failure to file the excise tax return (Form 5329) & failure to pay the tax thereon.In light of this case, I think that the Court would certainly view an IRA with an assignment deal as “not at risk” – all it has in the deal is $100.

That is a recipe for failure for sure.

However, failure to include the fee does not excuse the lender from the obligation toreconvey the deed of trust.2. $45.00 is the maximum fee for a reconveyance conclusively presumed by California law to be reasonable.3. $30.00 is the maximum fee for a payoff demand statement that can be charged under California law.Page 2 of 5To: Title Company ("Escrow Holder")Estimated Closing Date: In two weeksRe: Property address ("Property")("Seller")__________________________________________________________________________________________DEMAND FOR FULL PAYMENTPLEASE COMPLETE IN FULLEnclosed are:1) Original Note for $_________________________________2) Deed of Trust (original preferred), and3) Substitution of Trustee and Deed of Reconveyance executed by all beneficiaries.
