One, you can't contact them until you own the notes, two, they are in deep dodo with the bank and will likely owe a lot of money and years of not paying, as well as possibly years of back taxes, three, many sellers of notes do not you spreading them all over the place, making you a joker broker.

.  :-) But when the owner talks about the house, is open about repairs needed, what they owe, etc., I have found most to be realistic when it comes to what they want.  

I currently owe approximately $180K on it.Luckily the market has gone up quite a bit since I bought the property and I did some updates.

Working with a local lender I'm completing the process of doing a cash-out refinance where they pay off the balance of the original 2012 loan and then give me cash on the difference between what is owed on that loan and the current appraisal - minus 20% equity to remain in the property.  4.75% 30-yr fixed.I'll be able to draw over $200K in capital that I'll immediately then roll into a large self-storage facility purchase (with a partner) as my half of that down payment.  

$100k is the amount that was owed on the mortgage to the bank.

They currently owe around $5,000 to various companies.

2) Does anybody know how I can get the money owed on the property as of now?

He's claiming I owe him 2,000 for a very poor start and the family was very unhappy from day one with him.
