HOA restrictions uncovered after offer)I found 2-5 at the link below...http://www.proapod.com/Articles/subject-to-clauses...

So fix up the unit and get it released, then add up your costs and lost rent (again check with an attorney about any state specific restrictions) and then send that bill to collections.

What's odd, is that most tenants fear the new landlord not letting them stay...even though the lease has to be honored by the new landlord.

If a potential lender discovers things that you have not disclosed up front the odds of convincing them to lend will fall greatly. 

Obviously, there us more to thx business than just driving around and talking to people however I'm focusing on increasing your odds. 

@Abraham HodrojI wouldn't restrict myself to 30 minutes away if all I was marketing to was probate leads.

Additionally, with the current trend towards more and more restrictive conventional lending guidelines in the post Dodd-Frank environment, I never want to rely on a conventional loan program for my cash exit strategy, to allow me to turn my money again by acquiring additional investment properties.  

That being said, one of my co-workers, who happens to be from Taiwan, has been looking into investing and introduced me to the existence of international lenders who don't have such restrictions (though they're tougher in other respects).

Vickie,It just all sounds very odd.  

Most of the properties purchased by PE funds were acquired at the trustees sales and there are no restrictions on the resale.
