That’s when I realized I already had a strong connection to the Tampa Bay area—my aunts and uncles live in Largo, just 30 minutes from this home.

I didn't even realize they had originally purchased the parcel I have the tax deed to until the heavy equipment showed up which made me look closer at deeds for sales in the area and discovered my parcel listed on the other property's deed.This is my first tax certificate/tax deed so I'm not sure what comes next.

Unfortunately, many people will do partnerships like this because they seem straightforward and don't realize what they are giving up. 

I realize people are trying to make a living, but anyone who cold calls me is the last person I'd use for any transaction (plus I have people for that!).  

I renovated the first floor already (where I currently live), and now that I am evicting my tenant (yippee lol) I am looking to renovate the second floor when she leaves.I was hoping to do a HELOC, but after looking into it realized my only option is a Conventional Cash out up to 75% Loan to Value.

I was briefly with realize properties, ERA, and lastly went with Heart and Home.

OP realize you’re itching to invest.  

@Katryna Wood I didn't realize that you were in Texas.

I realize I must hold onto the property for at least 5 years.Questions:I assume 1031 exchange is possible as in-laws qualify as an arms length transaction?

No. 99.967% of the time it will be a big fat "no".So to everyone debating the effectiveness of a software, you need to realize what the scope of the software is.Software will return DATA, based on your filtering.
