Reservations about Reservations REPO

Does anyone have experience working on reservations? We have an opportunity to purchase a repo, if anyone has experience positive or negative please share.

Are you talking Indian reservations?

Yes.

I would be extremely careful, as it’s my understanding that tribal law does not necessarily fall under our court system. You would not want to buy the house and then find out that you can’t get it moved and don’t even have lawful title. I think that I would require the seller to remove the home and give it to you once it is off the reservation. Just my thoughts – I’ve never been involved in something like that, although I have heard a few horror stories from people in other industries that got caught in the legal challenges this would present.
