I'm a new Tax liens, deeds investor in the DC, MD, VA areas. 

My property taxes go up with no logical pattern (confirmed with other Indy investors) whereas my California properties go up 2% a year (Proposition 13) from the original property tax basis. 

Property taxes are a lot lower here (sub 2%) than in prime Austin. 

The advantage to the seller can be the seller will pay taxes on the amount sold plus will receive the remaining amount in 3 years time, please talk to a Real Estate Attorney/Tax Adviser to confirm the advantages for the seller carry.

Still some unincorporated areas so those would be county only tax, very rare to find oneEast Memphis 38117, generally solid, drops off a bit south of Quince.

Actual hazard insurance use .5% today it's increasing; and 1.6% for a round number on property taxes.

We live on my family ranch that is paid for just have to pay property tax and insurance in California.

Running the numbers includes calculating the ARV, and estimating the following: rehab costs, closing costs (I use 10% of ARV, that will cover a buyers and sellers commission at 3% each and 2% closing costs on each of the buy and sale), funding costs, staging costs, insurance cost, property taxes while you own it, utilities while you own it  Other tips:Stage every house you flip unless we get back to a stupid market like we had two years ago where you got 20 offers on the first weekend at $50k over ask with no inspection contingencies.

And if you've lived in it for 2 out of the 5 years prior to sale then you'll get to take the first $250K ($500K if married) of profit from that portion tax-free.  

This is where we have income requirements such as the "two years of tax returns".Portfolio - I'll define these loans as loans that come from the bank's own "portfolio" of money.
