Thanks for the welcome @David Stumpf.  Currently, we are looking to invest locally. How about yourself? How long have you been an investor?

Thank you for the reply. I often see experienced investors make a cash offer without time to formally inspect or see the property. I was wondering what their rationale is when doing such transactions.

Thanks for your reply. I’m not certain which type of tax lien the property has. As a new investor I didn’t think to ask that question. I will confirm with my source and get back to you. 

Where are the MD annual real estate tax sales held?

Hello,

Do experienced investors get a formal inspection done prior to the purchase of a property?

What do you know about purchasing a property with a tax lien? What are the pros and cons? Things to consider?

How can I better learn the market in my area (outside of using a real estate agent)?

How do you learn the market outside of your area? What strategies do you use?
