I am looking forward towards gaining more knowledge with the forums and the vast community on this website.

Check to see if any major expense items are coming up, and they have sufficient reserves. 

The vast majority of the commercial brokers were over an hour away from me in Downtown Tampa, FL. 

- One home as partnership with family- One home as partnership with a silent investorWhat I am looking to do moving forward:- Create a marketing machine to funnel leads to other businesses that I own/partner in- Self sufficient wholesaling business (employee run, profit sharing, partnership, etc.)- Self sufficient flipping business (team of employees)- Retail Real Estate brokerage for retail deals and property management (most likely acquire pre-existing prop management business)- Expand student housing portfolio- Build out-of-state portfolio for passive income- Possible: Create hard money lending company using OPMWhew!  

My question is : what would be sufficient return to interest commercial investors for my area?

Some states it is a combination of those factors.2) In the vast majority of tax lien states, you must foreclose in order to take the property.

Ranges may vary, but I think another 5% is sufficient. 

Let us not forget that the wealthy provide the vast majority of the jobs the middle class earn their income from.

@Scott Taylor   E & O = Errors and Omissions  insurance.. virtually every realtor has it.and if you make a monetary claim against a realtor they usually turn it over to the E & O carrier if the claim is sufficient enough.. many of these policies have 5k deductables.Also in most forms and we are going through this right now on a deal I am the seller on in PA were the buyer literally backed out day of closing and wanted their 10k back.. and of course I told them no greaking way.. so we are going to mediation.. and mediation is cheap there only 250 an hour.. the buyer has not appointed an attorney and my Agents will represent me..

So you need to establish if the seller has sufficient equity or cash to pay it as its his debt not yours.second off you would simply raise the price to cover the lien.. are you looking at a 203k loan ?
