@Victor S.

the 70's is much later then I expected you to say for a pier and beam in Texas.

I'm looking into purchasing a Tax Deed(s) in metro Atlanta, Georgia.  

Haven't found much resources on how to structure the deal whether to buy out partner's shares at existing basis (I believe this wouldn't be advantageous as I wouldn't get to mark the asset to market and lose out on depreciation) or open new LLC or S-Corp and buy out both partners (I would end up taking gain tax due to sale but would get new dep. basis).

There are a number of cautions here @Craig S.

I mainly work with investors/sellers/buyers in LOCATION(s)."2 of my first listings came from a kids baptism and a bachelor party.- Geo prospecting: I asked other agents in my office, networking groups, or MLS if I could market their listing.

s and If you ever venture into the FL market contact me! 

Or maybe the software(s) I've used don't really generate much fluff, haha.Just my way of setting someone up to be the best prepared they can be, even if our relationship doesn't continue to the next year for whatever reason.That being said though, I think there is a bit of a stigma when it comes to # of pages on a tax return and complexity.

There’s an entire “industry” consisting of gurus, attorneys and title companies that provide services and advice for transacting real estate without paying off the existing lien(s).
