Tax lien certificates can be a great investment if you know what you are doing and pick cities/counties that do not have a tremendous amount of competion for you.

Maybe things are different in OH, but here in FL, a bank will not do a conventional mortgage on a house that is not C.O.ed (Certificate of Occupancy).

I've had surveys and flood certificates come up, too.Best bet is to call a title company and talk with them about fees.

The military will be paying for the school but they will only pay for ONE certificate at all while i'm in the Air Force AND including with my GI bill when i get out.

I do Complete Rehab, water fire, mold damage restoration, mold inspections, (re-builds) drywall, painting, post construction cleaning, carpet installtion and tearouts, new flooring, property management, I have 11 certifications, 2 are Master Certifications.

As a disclaimer, I am a 'candidate for CFP certification'.

I learned the hard way that regardless how complete and organized you present your offer they will attempt to contact your seller (without telling you) to complete their proprietory short sale package which includes the Purchaser Eligibility Certification form.

I am sure red means there is basically no certificate of occupancy.

I am looking to purchase my first 2-4 unit building as an investment based on research, my assumption is there will be holders of Section 8 certificates interested in the areas I am looking to purchase property.
