I feel I will have more competitive edge by having more control over the transactions and having bigger leverage on selling properties with agents.

However, at least in Florida, if you hold a lien for more than 7 years, you've lost your investment.

The first line of my addendum reads: "This Addendum incorporates by reference the P&S Agreement between the Seller and Buyer dated ___, and should any inconsistency exist between this addendum and the P&S Agreement, this addendum shall control." 2 Critical Terms to My Addendum:1) In California, the standard P&S Agreements / Offers Forms contains language that an assignment can only be made if you get the express written consent of the seller.

I can't speak for every QI but the way we handle management is that while the EAT is the owner of record, you actually have a NNN lease on the property that allows for sub leasing so you control all expenses and manage all aspects of the property.  

Right now you have few options and are not in control of the direction of the situation. 

I went to the courthouse in Gainesville Ga and I was completely lost I asked the clerk  at the desk about files on foreclosures, divorced people homes, liens etc and I was completely lost.Am I asking the right questions?

I lost $250k in the stock market last year (admittedly mostly profit).

And, even all that routine maintenance increases the value of the property.Not all is lost, though.  

Remember you don't have to own a property to control it.

The bank has no control over the occupancy, and Always would rather have an occupied property.
