I have seen people buy non-existant properties, bottom of lake (literally underwater), slivers of land too narrow or small to do anything, Army bombing range, expired leases, cell tower now removed, property with 30 year lease and prepaid rent for 30 years, condemned buildings, toxic waste sites, land under railroad tracks, cliffs, landlocked property, wetlands, flood zone, unbuildable property, endangered species habitat, ....I have three rules for buying at Tax Sale:1.

However if I do a BRRRR I can achieve infinite return by extracting all of my investment.

There are two types of return from a rental propertyCash Flow & Appreciation.I normally also aim for a minimum of 8% return between Cash-Flow and Appreciation.Appreication, nationally, is around 2% to 3% annually.Therefore, your goal is to get the cash-flow to be about 5% to 6%.The issue is interest rates being very high, you would therefore, need to buy at a pricepoint where the numbers still make sense.You can always put down more of a downpayment to cash flow, but that will impact your cash on cash return calculations.Best of luck!

This is virtually non-existent with SFH's but is commonplace with 2+ units.

24 dead now as of this morning.....Costs are already estimated at $250 billion, high winds returning (50-70 mph) through Wednesday.

You lose all of the control and these are long term investments - but in my experience the returns match what I had on the active real estate and I am hiring professionals to manage the assets.  

With a strong foundation, you'll be ready to invest confidently when you return to the U.S.Good luck! 

Theres a calcuation to make there to see how that. impacts your net return.2.

. $40k will not get you a non owner occupied San Diego property unless you find some unlikely alternate financing.

I've got a long term tenant lined up & the unit is a non smoking unit, which the applicant is aware & fine with for indoor.
