I'd want to know about the maint status of the house, any large captial expense items that are defered (A/C, Heat, Roof, Paint, etc.) that will come up needing replacement sooner rather than later.  

Alejandro, I didn't see mention of Visa status.  

Following your followers makes them a full colleague and that is sort of a promotion of the follower's status.

You can make an inquiry to the seller as to the status of the C of O.

(Basically means my worst case is $30k per year of health costs.)

The issue a lender will have is with your primary residence status.

Given what I know about the health industry, I wasn’t really going to hold that against them.

I hold the Note(s) on both & having exercised the signed assignment of rents I 'reluctantly' manage the properties.We collect the rents ($2300) & the 'income' is used for maint/repairs, tax etc escrow & anything left is used to pay down their mortgage(s).Several weeks ago I received an inquiry from Social Services to pre-qualify this couple & kids for 'free' Health care.

You'd really have to look into what else is going on with the "health" of the HOA and what the future repairs and issues look like. 

The county clerk website is a reflection of the status of the cases and the 'real' answer may take some on-site digging.
