I have 20 years of training and hands on experience in the very skills you are referring to. 

Ok, I think you're referring to the folks that get the idea that they can buy a note, foreclose, and own the property to flip or to rent.

., thanks so much for commenting, but I feel like both of you are referring to boilerplate while I'm asking about a separate document that appears to actually assign the leases and rents.To recap for clarity:The mortgage is tied to a commercial loan between the owner and a local bank.The original mortgage, dated 12/17/2015, includes the "ASSIGNMENTS OF RENTS AND LEASES" boilerplate clause.

@Don Cuffy  I've referred this to others.

You want people to remember you and you want to be the solution lying on their table in their time of need.

@Hatim Barma I can refer you to some top notch agents in central OH, but Harvey and Brad would be 2 of the 4 I would say connect with first as they own their own investments, have solid networks/experience/exit strategies, and are loyal/dependable/honest/fast/communicatable, etc.

If you need references for either of them in San Diego, let me know.

I guess, the Best way to approach, instead of seen the problem, maybe the solution could be reaching out to them after a few months and double check on how they are doing with their investment, and check the stuff they make the deal work if not, It proves you are right. 

But it is usually a less optimal solution. 

They give up quickly when you know the law.Get the help and advice from a knowledgeable attorney if you can't figure out a solution directly with the HOA.
