As a buyer's who's just making offers on what's on the MLS, its unacceptable to have a committed offer outstanding for months and months knowing that its more likely than not going nowhere.

As for taking over properties subject-to outstanding loans: If you take over a seller's loan that isn't usually referred to as "seller financing" .

My property is a single building on the main highway between Tampa and Miami (tamiami trail) and has 70,000 cars pass by daily. i did have the possibility in mind to level it if and when highest and best becomes something different.

But have more risk on their books with the outstanding mortgages.

The most investor-friendly title company I have used in San Antonio is Independence Title on Austin Highway, Escrow Agent Laurel Stuckey.

They are close to the highway I will use and seem to be safe?

I have the option to pay the outstanding taxes which will be refunded or wait till the adjustment.

The state will have sign laws along highways. 

Thank you for your response, there is a new housing development is starting construction on the opposite side of the highway  .

When I was there Manila in particular was a real rat hole - mostly run down places, shacks even, known for lots of meth activity, and virtually ran along the highway, so noisy, and then there was the pollution and stench from the nearby paper mill.
