After buying a mortgage auction can you use excess auction funds to pay HOA payoff?
I am between lawyers and would prefer not putting down a 2k retainer to ask this question, so I'm asking here in case this is an easy or common thing to do.
I purchased a property at mortgage foreclosure auction - own it free and clear now except for the ~$2,000 HOA payoff, which in Florida follows the property.
I already sent a check to the HOA's law firm before I had this idea:
Since I paid for the house ~20k more than the judgement was, there are excess funds to be disbursed. Can I put a motion in for the HOA payoff to be paid out of those funds since they are essentially an unrecorded lien? Or in this case, get reimbursed for that payment?
