If you wrap a deal, that part of principal that goes to the underlyine mortgage is not yours, you break that out, but any interest override is your interest income.You know what they say about "ignorance of the law", and some will be made as examples that's for sure....will it be you?

Wait until they vacate to worry about the security deposit claim, they already owe the rent and that will eat up their security deposit. 

But, it is likely the HO is also behind on the 1st, and would owe back payments and penalties, etc.

If you said yes, and benefited, you owe him.

You just need to use/transfer at least as much as the sale price and the loan amount (or was it principal). 

The only two we didn't purchase were those that owed 5 times the value of the land in taxes. 

Probably, but if you are evicting a tenant they likely owe you rent and the amount of the rent will exceed that of the deposit.

The DSCR ratio is calculated by taking net operating income (monthly amount shown on your lease or on the 1007 page of the appraisal)  and dividing it by total debt service (monthly principal, interest, taxes, insurance, and HOA if applicable of the property). 

We properly recorded the assumption between us and the other individual, and the lender and other individual recorded a notice of consent to loan assumption.I don't see any assignment language in the document.The note states that we "promise to pay to {owner, husband and wife, as tenants in common} (information on principal sum, interest, and currency), at the office of {address} or at such place as the legal holder hereof may designate in writing"To me, it reads as if they can change the address in writing, but not who we are paying.Later, it states that we shall pay "principal and interest payments of {amount} on the 5th day of each month to the office listed above, and, at the election of both {husband and wife}, or the survivor of them, if not called sooner, which election shall be made in writing, in one lump sum payment of principal and accumulated interest on {date in future}."
