Some are passive and let the process play out, but others are very active, filing claims, motions, and requests to delay the case.

I guess the easy example would be a slow motion auction with a reserve.

-If the property was acquired by a bank (REO), then under the Safe Harbor rule, liability is capped at the lesser of 12 months of dues or 1% of the original mortgage.So, technically, you can try to file a motion to redirect the surplus toward the HOA payoff, or seek reimbursement for the payment you already made.

If you don’t have fire escapes, sprinkler systems and hardwired smoke detectors, they likely aren’t going to approve it.

Any of you with a metal detector, welcome to check it out.Mark and us were marking the corners and property lines by putting Steel T posts in and putting 10-foot PVC pipes over them. 

@Chien LowChien, a lot of landlords run into this—I’ve seen a few good options: some property managers offer inspections as a stand-alone service, there are third-party companies that do quarterly walk-throughs with reports/photos, or you can even have a trusted handyman do routine checks (filters, smoke detectors, leaks, etc.).

As far as a checklist, make sure the home is safe, locks work, smoke detectors are not expired and with new batteries, no safety hazards that may cause or open you up to liability.

It sounds like you have a pretty good grip of your options and it really just depends on the opportunity cost is in terms of whether cashing out now would allow you to put another BRRRR in motion but on the other hand I'd imagine your lady would prefer your undivided attention over the next few months!

Sounds like you're already in motion and open to collaboration — that mindset goes a long way in this space.

The land deal is slow motion, maybe have something to report on that end in a few weeks.Hope everyone is having a great week!
