after the hearing (default judgement since tenant didnt show up) i got worried about the complexity of the next steps with filing the writ, certifications and dealing with court officer scheduling.  

If I took Freddie Mac creditsmart homebuyers education course, can I use the certificate for Fannie Mae's HomeReady?

The Tax Lien Certificate Sale statutes are in the Maryland Tax-Property Article and are available online at http://mgaleg.maryland.gov/webmga/frmStatutes.aspx?

After someone gets approved, the house search begins. if I wasn't on maternity leave my file would have been completed sooner because i had everything, i just need to take a landlord course and provide the certificate. i'm following through with this program for now, because i think it could work. my goal is to own more property so i wasn't sure if this was the right choice bc of the requirement to live there through the entire mortgage. i could refinance when i want to move, but i don't know much about that process and if it would work out smoothly. as i keep pursuing them i'm sure i'll get more answers and eventually decide what to do!

I'm not familiar with your state but I don't think they will require a new contract because contracts transfer with the sale of the home.I do highly recommend an estoppel certificate.

Keeping in mind that any fund that gets established has rules as to how much of the fund has to be spent, where spent at, who invested, how much invested, and the fund registered with Dept. of Treasury via the IRS self certification form.

From a private lender's perspective - also obtain a "certificate of fact" for your LLC, which is on most lenders documentation collection lists.

@Brandon Sturgill He has provided a certificate of liability insurance and 1 referral.

My offer would be contingent on the rent roll and an estoppel certificate signed by each tenant that verifies the terms of the lease and that they are current.
