The low price tag is so tempting, but they just don't appreciate like SFHs, HOA and assessments are frustrating, and loan options are limited depending on the building's owner occupant vs renter population. 

Steve: If you are going to bid on an Ohio Common Pleas Court  foreclosure, the process is pretty safe because the foreclosing lender has to include a "PJR" which is actually a "Preliminary Judicial Report" which is a title report and include a commitment for title insurance should the bidder be successful and the property to be conveyed.This differs from a liquidation auction by a lender, private auctioneer, receiver (other than an actual foreclosure case) where you might be successful but the property has pre existing liens that don't get swept away by the foreclosure case.For your first one of these, get a lawyer to advise you.

- What is their job title?

@Jake Andronico great post title.

SC permits fractional titles but there's stipulations (which I don't know about specifically).Strong fences make good neighbors.

It’s one of the mistakes many investors make by not titling their real estate correctly from the start.

If the title of your properties is vested in an LLC, and you file a BUSINESS tax return, it's important to note that positive rental income cannot be used to offset your DTI.

We created an LLC to operate the STR but hold title in our personal names.

Be sure to include closing costs, mortgage recording, title insurance, etc.

Hi William--I can only speak to what I do...I have an LLC that holds the property titles to my flips.
