Buying subject-to existing loans is a practical way to buy property, especially if the seller is financially distressed.

As of 2 weeks ago I have relocated my real estate license to Keller Williams Real Estate in Blue Bell PA.

I am actually going to be sworn in as an attorney licensed to practice law in Connecticut on Monday.

Direct mail (targeted mailing lists with very specific language Estate Attorney, Divorce Attorneys, Relocation companies, Local Builders (These folks tend to “land-bank” properties), Investors, Real Estate Agents (they call them “Pocket listings”), Public Records (for bankruptcies and short-sale opportunities), People you know!

I understand that this is probably a long shot but it will definitely be good practice for us even if it doesn't work out.

Contractually it's Problematic.Best practice: "Buyer vesting to be determine in escrow"Who's still teaching these bad habits?"

I know there are requirements like a working stove and heater (here in Florida a working A/C unit would be more practical!)

Long story short, we are relocating back to Phoenix, Arizona in November this year and plan on investing in property in the Scottsdale/Paradise Valley area.

Also, I want some practice as a landlord and it would be nice to start out living close to the property.

You may not want to do this practically, but legally you may be able to sue the defendant as a John Doe, then compel the seller to tell you who it was, then amend your defendant to whomever squealed (legal term).
