HELP!!! Should I buy a condo that is a land trust?

This is the numbers they gave me.

Land = 80,000
Condo=120,000

So if I purchase it, I would only be responsible for the 120,000
mortgage. However, when selling they are in tilted to 75% of the
gross sale price over 120,000 (what I bought it for)

Does this sound like a good deal or am I getting screwed?

What is the procedure of buying auctioned homes after seeing an ad in paper, check liens, Titles, mortgage?

How do you check for liens and taxes, what other items should be checked? The ad says “beneficiary may elect to bid less than the total amount due”, what do they mean, and who is the beneficiary? If people are still living @ the property, how does the buyer inspects, or takes possession of the property since the ad claimes ” the sale in an ‘as is’ condition, without covenant or warranty, regarding title, possession or encumbrances to satisfy the “indebtness secured by said Deed of Trust, advances thereunder, with interest as provided, and the unpaid principal of the Note secured by said Deed of Trust with interest thereon as provided in said Note, pluse fees, charges and expenses of the Trustee and of the Trusts created by said Deed of Trust”? Looks like there are so many legal language that I like to know exactly what is involved? Also Is it O.K. to approach owners, and what should be offered? A property is auctioned for smal amount of backed association dues, what happens to Mortgag?
Any of you pros out there, anyone with experiece, anyone who actually gone through this procedure, and got properties in auction, through ads in the local newspaper? Also somebody was advising of going out there and purchase 2nd loans and get 15-17% interest on it?

Which of these do you find to be the most ridiculous?

Adding ‘under God’ to the Pledge

in UK law what is Trust of Land and Appointments of Trustees Act 1996 in terms of joint house ownership?

My partner wants to end our relationship and sell our house. (2/3 of the property is in her name at her request at the start of our co-habitation because she has 2 adult offspring and I one from former relationships. We have been living together for 7+years)

A letter has been served to me by her solicitor saying she seeks the sale of the property and proceeds to be divided 2/1 thirds in her favour. I am warned she may invoke this Act for an Order for the sale of our house and I would bear the court cost.

Because of the origional reason for the 2/1 split in ownership and that we have basicly been on equal income and shared household expenses, and in our late 50s, we talked about drawing up an agreement for a more equal share. I sujested we do this with a solicitor, but she refused on account of cost, saying it could be witnessed by anyone. This took place 7/10 days before I recieved the letter, which is timescaled.

What can I do to effect a more equal share of proceeds.

what is Trust of Land and Appointments of Trustees Act 1996 in terms of joint house ownership/mortgage?

I have been served a letter by my partners solicitor who wants to end our relationship and sell our house. A dispute exist between us as to the proceeds of sale, and I am reluctant to put the house on the market untill we can come to an agreement on this.

A short time, 7/10 days,before recieving the letter, I had sujusted we draw up an agreement on the division of equity from the sale of property with a solicitor, but she refused on account of cost.

Her solicitor has given me a short timescale to respond/comply to their letter or she can invoke this act apparantly “for an Order for sale of” our house “together with an Order relating to the distribution of the net sale proceeds.

It also states that if my partner takes this action, her solicitor will be claiming the cost of proceedings against me.

I should point out that 2/3 of the property is in her name at her request because she has 2 adult offspring and I 1. We have been living together for 7+ years.
