I think you will be fine leaving it as is and not even bringing it up. It's probably not even an afterthought for any one living in that apartment, best not to kick the hornets nest. Good luck!

Hey Dave, How did it go? It's been a few months since your post so curious how it went. There seems to be a lot of Occupied Foreclosures in my area NY/NJ so before I jump in, I wanted learn from other peoples experience. Let us know!
Thanks
Phil

Obviously you deal with tons of legal headaches when you try evict the entire tenant, but I'm curious, do you have to face any eviction issues if the family kicks out a family member? Did you have to deal with any other legal problems?
P.S. I feel bad for the family that it has gotten so bad they had to kick their own daughter out of the house. I hope she can fix up her life. But that's a whole nother thread.
Post: Commingling Funds - is it legal?

In RE Salespersons Class, Commingling is defined as mixing money or properties of others with personal or business funds. But the example used was if a client put down a 50k deposit on a house and you put that in your own personal bank account. The law is designed to keep accurate records of funds so there's no issue later. I believe you can technically put different funds in the same account, but you better keep accurate records and the $'s better add up. It is advised to put separate funds in separate escrow accounts to keep the funds separate.
But I think in the context of your speaker, I dont think it's commingling, you are just raising funds to buy an investment property jointly.
I'm relatively new to the game, so please correct me if I am wrong in any of this!
Thanks
