@Brian KemplerAre comps current listings or prior sales?

I’ve got some tenants that have been in my units 10-15 years (prior to me buying them) and are at market level rents.

Run a full background check to see their credit score, prior evictions and criminal record.

I believe if you are asking if it's important to meet the tenant prior to them moving in so that you can build repoire, the answer is not necessarily.

Would you build a portfolio with long term rentals prior to investing in short term rentals, or would you use short term rental opportunities for quicker profit gain to expand on purchases of long term rentals.

Each of them had $20,000 of unused "suspended" losses from prior years plus $5,000 of current year losses.

The properties are not available to see prior to the auction,  how are you determine that is manageable?

Income received prior to that date would be considered rental income.Here's a good article on the facts and circumstances that would need to be considered: https://www.jmco.com/articles/real-estate/lease-options-sale...How it is ultimately treated will affect both the buyer and seller.

Pays $950Since I inherited the tenant, and the prior owner never raised the rent of section 8.When I emailed DCA agent with the increase, I told her i wanted to raise it closer to the HUD FMR.

I believe it is suggested to run a title search prior to buying the tax lien certificate.
