I did a owner contract 8 years ago with $ 35,000 down and have made improvements of $ 20,000. He owed $ 10,000 to a mortgage company. We had a private contract made up with no attorney's involved. Mine was notarized, his wasn't.. Just 2 pieces were involved. He after 18 months spent 5 of the house payments that I would send to him and the house went into foreclosure. I only found this out by notice to this address. I contacted him and he had the missed payments and fees put on the contract so now I owe an additional $ 3,500.00 and it's been 6 and a half years later and no attempt to pay that off. Property values here have never recovered and with the new fema insurance in place ( I'm in a high flood zone ) it doesn't make sense to stay here. My question is... since he broke our contract twice and I leave can he come after me for the balance ?There were no attorney's involved, am not anywhere on anything, just papers between us. any information will be helpful
