Property was listed on MLS and noticed there was a legal filing from CHASE mortgage for the outstanding balance of $88,000 within 15 days.

Things like the rule of 78s causing them to pay towards unpaid interest before principle or balance is paid down.

If they see that there is a balance due, that's a red flag that a mechanic's lien may be filed, which creates potential for a title claim.   

(Note, I settled the loan for less than the full balance and received a settled in full letter saying it had a zero balance- dated Aug 2011.)

Each investor has to balance these and decisions about the use of leverage are a key method of doing so.

At the end of the 12 months, full remaining balance is due which I would then go to the bank across the street and get a mortgage.

@Greg JungeYou certainly can - and should - invest your total Roth SDIRA account balance.

The HUD 1 always balances out.

This is a property that I'm buying on a short-sale:Owner Bought in 4/04Mortgage Balance = 315K Market value = 375K8 months in default3 Family, all units rentedOwner's already received notice of default and the auction will be set probably within the next 30 days.

How can I find out the exsiting financing: Balance of loan payment liens late payment or nod with out contacting the lender or going down to the court house.
