@Account Closed cure the default immediately if you got the deed.  Yes, you should file asap or you really have nothing (anyone can file before you) - Cure!!! 

Also having the deed recorded or not has nothing to do with your tax situation. Whether you file or not you own it and have a tax liability when it sells. 

Why would you need to quit claim the deed back to the seller?  Wasn't this a good deal?  I have a saying when i am teaching about subject tos:  "If you can't make it, Don't take it".  i mean if you can't make their payment to keep this property on track financially then you should not be getting the deed from the seller.  It is not the best ethical way to do this business.  If you don't have the money to cure, or it's not a good deal, then go back and give it back to them.  If it is a good deal then get it cured and keep it on track.  I hope this helps.

I would say being a lender myself, that yes, I do see what is moving in the market....what people are paying.  What they are putting into a project, etc.  Also, maybe times I find deals they want, or visa versa..... networking is the key to every successful business person.

@Jimmy Hilaire Master lease options are always something to consider for multi-family, however, I have never been one to suggest paying top dollar in a market that is starting to slow down significantly.   With Rental rates stable (vs on the rise) I would caution for that.  Wait for the sellers to become more motivated but start to have those conversations.  The time will come..... motivation will increase at some point.  I have a really good book on lease options and subject tos (and subj tos might be better if they have a good loan rate).  You can get it on Amazon.
