build to rent is great. they are an intermediary that help investors contract direct with turn key new build. they are pretty sophisticated we have sold a house so far and we are looking to sell other multifamily with them. there is a vetting process and as an intermediary they don't control construction they help vet builders and establish relationships. they have a big team. the other builder I've never heard of but unless you can see your house I wouldn't touch it. rent to retirement has a strict policy of 90 days until certificate of occupancy until they will send a deal out they are good at what they do and I'd recommend them. they have options all over the country and established relationships.

Happy to connect and help on your journey 

Let me know if I can help you in anyway!

There is no set time for the county to foreclose on the property via a tax sale, according to this article purchasers of the tax lien certificate have to wait 5 years, as the owner has a redemption period after the tax sale, so you could be waiting a while, and if I'm not mistaken, you have to pay the taxes each year until the 5 year period is over, then you have to file for a deed or file a lawsuit to quiet title.https://smartasset.com/mortgage/how-to-buy-tax-liens-in-cali...Hope this helps,Dustin

Welcome to BP and I'd love to help answer some of your questions.1.

Any advice on how I should think about pricing the property would be helpful. 

Always super helpful to have another handyman in the city you invest for the minor repairs.

Considering buying the corp so avoid land transfer tax - that might help with the numbers.

And of course, getting financing squared away is key so you know your price range, which will help narrow down locations and strategies.

Very helpful!
