I have a HOA who is attempting to collect HOA fees for the period when the prior owner owned it.

I let them know I will also attempt to search but I can't guarantee anything which gives them more encentive to search themselves.

Do you see how many phishing attempts we deflect every single day?

The ones that I attempted to sell are in Jacksonville, FL, North Charleston, SC, and Decatur, GA (Atlanta MSA).It's definitely more of a buyer's market for larger multifamily properties. 

I will start making consistent calls while attempting to get the contact information for the case workers.

My humble advice to anyone attempting to do creative finance is:Creative finance is for experienced investors who have access to capital if anything goes wrong.Learn the lawsDon't use a contract "off the internet", laws vary by state and are also regulated on a federal levelLearn the financing techniques correctlyDon’t skip parts of the processDon’t ever do a “kitchen table” closingUse the proper deedAn attorney can help you with the legal work, but the rest you are on your ownYour guru will not bail you out“Investing” in someone else’s deal by providing a small 2nd loan so the “investor” can pay for “cash to the seller” and for “closing costs” so he can do the deal is a very bad planKnow what problems can ariseLearn the responses and solutions to problems before they are neededKnow everything there is to know about Title and what that meansKnow who a "protected class" individual isLearn the "back doors"Learn human natureUnderstand timelinesUnderstand regulation enforcement (some of these "mistakes" have a 10 year statue of limitations ( they can charge you 10 years AFTER you do the transaction) and carry hefty fines and possible imprisonmentThe court doesn't accept "I didn't know" for an answer"Know that the source of the lead plays a serious role in some states and federallyKnow how much of a "profit" pushes the boundaries to invite an investigationYou can be sued by the seller if you don’t do things correctlyYou are automatically at fault if an investigator or attorney or regulator gets involved.

Or are you letting opportunities die after one or two attempts?

So it's a waste of time to contact the attorney in an attempt to make a cash offer?

Since we all possess a number of these traits, I’ll attempt to place the ones I see as significantly descriptive of myself in order of importance (for me)1.

The numbers for tax/ins were an attempt to be conservative since I’ll eventually lose homestead exemption and need a different ins policy.
