Opendoor Technologies Inc. has released its annual list of the hottest ZIP codes in the country for home sales. 

of course the sale of hurricane damaged houses also confuses the issue (my house had no such damage but is only about 4 blocks from houses that did).

Would a low enough sales price make all of my concerns go away?

Quote from @Joshua Alcantara: Quote from @Peter Walther: I've found many properties with title issues wind up with unpaid property taxes so checking on delinquent taxes, tax deed sales and lands available for taxes might help you identify some.Thanks, Peter, for the info!

I have the credit, experience and the knowledge on how to underwrite the deal to show their ROI in this arrangement vs a traditional sale. 

Buy a lot and build a house for sale in 2026.

The other part sounds like it was a rehab and now held for sale, which does not qualify for 1031 Exchange treatment. 

Quote from @Paul Lucenti: We just closed on our 9th deal and first of 2025 - sales price was $115,000 and total monthly cost is $890. 

Usually in the year following your purchase, the property appraiser will reevaluate the house based on the new sales price.  

You didn't mention where you are operating, but depending on average home prices, I think you'll be ok.For instance if we're talkin $500k homes, and if you will get a 2.5% commission, split that 50/50 with your Broker, you will end up with $6,250 per sale, right?
