Fixed Asset removal

I do the books for an towne house HOA.  They foreclosed on a unit that had a reverse mortgage on it.  The HOA paid all outstanding taxes and then took possession of it to hopefully make its investment back knowing the bank could come in at any time.  The HOA rented the unit until the mortgage company took it over in 2023 (approx 4 years).  

I initially set the unit up as a fixed asset since the HOA was receiving rental income.

My question is how do I remove the fixed asset and depreciation from my balance sheet?  I know a journal entry needs to be made, but I'm not sure where to debit/credit.  

Can someone guide me?

What credit entry was used to offset the fixed asset debit of the unit when the HOA foreclosed?  Was it the mortgage balance?  Did you book the unit at FMV?  If so, what credit did you use an offset since, presumably, the balance owed was less than the FMV of the unit?  Removing the unit and its associated accumulated depreciation is simple enough, it just depends on what entry(ies) were made to put the unit on the HOA's balance sheet.
