I'm not so much a DIY type when it comes to legal matters so I am looking for an experienced attorney who specializes in tax foreclosures - ideally in that county.

This doesn’t matter to me but I do know some landlords prefer month to month

It sounds backwards I know, but welcome to NYC where real estate politics apparently matter more lol. 

@Theresa Harris No criminal history recently accept for a driving matter.  

Once you take over the cabin there will be other unexpected items you will need to purchase no matter if the cabin is new or old.  

And if you are doing section 8, does it matter if it's considered a high crime rate area.

I would start looking at what type of properties you're going to acquire and where and then start backing into what they might cash flow and cost and where that money is going to come from. 10 year back of the napkin model/ assumptions1 unit at $60k is $18k down payment at 70% LTV and lets just assume it cash flows $100/month no matter what for easy math.

Definitely a lesson learned to not pay in advance no matter what stage we are in the process/relationship that has been built.Luckily, I already met with three different contractors and all of them are wanting to finish the project within our February deadline.

This alone can dramatically reduce the page’s conversion rate.To make matters worse, the same issue persists on mobile devices.Conclusion: Don’t make it difficult for your visitors to leave their contact information.

No matter what you say, they will feel entitled to continue to pay.
