I assigned the contract for $1000 paid directly to me.

I paid $550 and the licensed electrician found one deficiency, there was no bypass ground connecter around the water meter.

I paid 42,000 for this house at the auction, my court date was set for 4 weeks from the auction.

So if we stayed in 2/1 mortgage would be paid by tenant.  

If your properties have paid for themselves I'd say you're safe now to upgrade.

But I just got disclosure docs, rate is real, and lender pay all closing costs (other than prepaids, taxes etc). 

I would assume that your tenant wants you to provide a copy of the receipts for the furniture purchase and will either pay you what you paid and keep the furniture or decline and continue renting it fir $50 month.

Anybody had one that has almost paid off the mortgage by themselves ?

I paid the tax bill.On April 9, 2018, The County of Allegheny mailed a second Real Estate Tax Statement which reads "Tax Year 2018", "Taxable Assessment Increased" and nearly doubled the county property tax.The time to file a tax period expired April 2, 2018.However, since I was not notified of any tax assessment increase before the appeal expired, aren't my due process rights being violated?  

@Jonathan Arcay did the current owner got paid out by the insurance?
