@Narayanan Bakthisaran Start attending the Greensboro REIA meetings.

I live in an older condo association and at our annual meeting I learned that one of the owners died January of 2018.

Also, during the first 5 years of a conventional when trying to remove PMI based on a new appraisal, you have to meet a 75% LTV, not 80%, last time I checked. 

I also understood that rather than paying them $40-50k, I could probably do better to invest in a property and learn by doing.I recommend attending local REIA's meetings.

As far as I can tell, unlike with personal Schedule A mortgage interest, there is no requirement that the loan is secured by the property.5.

I currently have a house listed on Zillow for rent and I have had several applicants who don’t meet the criteria, yet still are insistent I should rent to them.

Don't be late on any more payments going forward.Start attending all of your local REIA meetings.

However, when you apply for a new mortgage the lender will have you fill out a Schedule of Real Estate Owned form that basically asks about any properties you already own along with any lien holders on those properties, balances owed, monthly payment amounts, etc (see below for what one of these forms looks like).  

I am trying to set up a time frame schedule and budget on how much this will cost me.

Turns out another tenant in the building has suddenly started with the same type of behavior, trying to push lease terms, and trying to dictate when we can send our service guys in, always on their terms, never meeting half way.
