I need help BP! I have a client that is interested in renting out a commercial space for 3 years for $30,600. When I contacted the listing agent to negotiate compensation, he responded that I should get my compensation from my client because  "the landlord only pays [him] half of a month". Has anyone ever dealt with this situation before? Also, how would you handle it differently moving forward? Also, the space has been sitting vacant for over a year, and the landlord has been trying to sell the whole building for over 2 years.

Alex I'm not an expert at tax liens but I can tell you from experience that neighboring cities may handle their tax liens very differently. Smaller towns are a bit easier to deal with but in either case I recommend you reach out to an attorney and partner with them.

In Mass, 99.9% of the attorney's are also licensed agents or brokers, so they have a better understanding of the legal restrictions the city faces in a tax foreclosure proceeding.

Once you have you're attorney/partner, you set your radius and start reaching out to the Tax authorities within your radius. It may be one office that handles your determined area or like in my case their are 11 different authorities (1 for every cities and town in my radius).

Once you go meet these people and see their office and staff (the women in the office) you build a rapport with them, for the purpose of getting leads.

Also, cities and towns vary in where and how they sell their liens. Some may sell them on site and other's may do so online using a specific portal.

I pull data from several sources to identify the best possible investments based on my profile. The pictures below is a map I use that shows me where the property is and also who the councilor is in the area, what's for sale in the area, what part of town, and when i click on the property I can see the last sale date, how much it was sold for etc...

I'm mostly in the North Shore and some of these city halls are a bit outdated but the people are very friendly at least.

I'm looking for investors that are interested in residential properties in the North Shore Massachusetts area. My services are tailor-made for my investor partners and the system I use makes it a lot easier to simulate several scenarios, gauge heat maps, grants/initiatives within overlays, ward councilors or selectmen, liens/title etc...

There's so much data that you literally have to tell me what you want to know or what you only want to see because the rest will just be noise. If you're interested and want to know a bit more send me an email or give me a call and I'd be more than happy to answer any questions you may have.

 $38,000 rehab on that project? Can i get your GC's number please? That's one heck of a bargain and I'd love to keep track of the progress.

Hey guys thanks for the welcoming! @Ray H I did have a client of ours who's a real estate attorney draft up the contract. I had this planned a while back so when I presented the idea, sort of like to get input, to the attorney he said "sure you can structure a deal like that. I'll draft up he contract for you if you want." Of course I took him up on his offer presented it to he owners and explained it so they won't feel like I'm trying to take advantage of them. They agreed and signed.

As for pictures I was going to upload some on here but I'll upload hem to one of those photo-sharing sites and just provide a link. Do you guys recommended a specific website?

@Shaun Reilly Thank you I'll definitely be attending their meetings. Most likely I'll join the North Shore and Boston club first since they're closer.

Hey Shaun, thanks for the input. I tried searching for a local REIA in the north shore and nothing was coming up. Can you please post the links to all three of those REIAs. Also, I have started to connect with some local pros but I'd like to attend some of those meetings.

 Thanks Mark, I'm definitely utilizing everything BP has to offer!

Thanks Tim, I hope everything works out as planned for you and your wife. Congratulations on the new job. I'm sure the move is a headache but hopefully we'll worth it. I'm defiantly looking forward to meeting up and hopefully even making some deals together. Keep in touch.

Hey Josh, at the moment I'm focusing on the North Shore area primarily in Lynn, Salem, Beverly, and Peabody.
