That's a rare situation and I did file a title claim (I don't think I'll win it though).

If the dispute is over the Indiana house, you likely need to file in Indiana, and therefore need an Indiana-licensed attorney. 

Is there a difference in the way you file taxes?

It was found on the MLS While I realize that there are better deals out there, we were after the quick passive income this property produced.

Have you checked biggerpockets.com/files?  

First of all does it make sense to send to these folks, and secondly is there "file date" that would make the most sense to target? 

I have struck out a number of times now, but I also haven't produced much fruit in this area.

I have found a property that the owner:  1) has clear title; 2) property taxes are current; 3) the HOA has assessed a Notice of Trustee Sale; 4) Since the filing of the HOA NOD, I have also calculated the HOA dues and assessments that will have to be added to the potential investment. 6) Reviewed California Law on waiting periods for a) owner's termination rights, (NOTS 90 day redemption period - starts from date of sale). b) renters with and without lease contracts or if the homeowners is the occupant .My Questions: Please respond with answers applicable for California Law 1) If there isn't a 1st Lien in place or recorded, then I can assume most likely one doesn't exist?  

@Carlos GutierrezIf they're all titled and platted separately, would the seller be willing to split up the contract into two contract, one with the properties producing income and then the other with the properties needing rehab?
