.- Both Sterling and Bank of Marin offer financing to TIC developers for acquisition and renovation of buildings that will then be converted and sold as tenancy in common.

So he bought up several owner financed properties that offered 0% down, and he cash flowed. 

Like SW Florida, TX, TN  Some cities in those states are not necessarily the best cash flow positive, but they offer good appreciation potential.

If they are relatively the same but offer a front desk etc maybe they are superior. 

would love to connect and see if i can offer any help

You are not allowed to compound interest.If you bought the certificate from the state on a best price offer, you charge interest on your purchase price, not on the full amount of the taxes that were due, but were not paid by you when you purchased.After you obtained your tax deed, you are entitled to something called "mesne profits" if you file an ejectment lawsuit against the former owner and they redeem during that lawsuit.  

I haven't read this page to see what's offered as conservation incentives, and then compared that against your local market prices for "junk" land.

For further context, we are trying to have him be the name on the loan because he would be able to utilize his first time home buyer loan to take advantage of the lowered offered interest rate.

I got no other offers in the 45 days it was listed.

Thanks for any help you may offer.
