In my opinion, that is the only real true way to release them from the perpetual debt servitude they exist in.

Does the insurance company release the insurance check to me or pay the contractor I choose?

But I know time is essential for investors and this property was just released on MLS a few hours ago.

They are saying this is confidential information between the tenants and them and they can.not release that information to me unless I get a letter of authorization from my actual tenant.

I guess it's at the discretion of the listing agent to release any information.

The part where I agree to pay the amount owed by seller to the HOA in order get a civil lawsuit against the seller released as part of the terms, and the part where I pay the seller's IRS liens?

So in exchange for releasing him of any liability should any of my vendors hurt themselves while on his property prior to the close of escrow, the Seller handed over keys. 

How can I tell if the mortgage was released as a part of the Chapter 7 proceedings.  

We do not have that concern here in CA.You'll need to get "someone" to provide you the decedent's SSN and sign an authorization to release information to provide the lender or loan servicer.As to the opportunity that you've described, it better cash flow pretty well.

Releasing them from the lease early, without penalty as a reasonable accommodation, could be a viable option and would allow them to find a housing situation more suitable to their needs.I would contact your local fair housing office for information and guidance.
