What is the price of the tax lien.

This can give you more confidence regarding moving forward or not.

Move on.If they say, "maybe" or have lots of questions about the details, then move forward and pursue.#3  TRUST.   

@Matt RollinsSince your goal is to replace your W2 income through real estate within 10 years, starting with a house hack is a smart move, but Utah’s high prices may make it challenging to cash flow.

In fact the demand is stronger than I've ever seen it, though prices are high.

Forward to 2023, the tenant is unfortunately moving out.  

@Chris Mahoo many new investors don't take the time to properly understand RE investing.1) Many are using approaches from 2010-2018 when Class A property prices were so low from the Great RE Crash that an investor could cashflow and get pretty easy Class A tenants to manage.2) If you look at what investors were doing before 2008-2010, most were buying Class B & C rentals.To make it worth while, an investor either needs to Fix & Flip or invest & hold rentals for 10+ years.- Over a 10 year period cashflow will increase as rents increase (rents typically rise faster than property taxes, insurance, etc.)- The property should be appreciating, if purchased in a good location, increasing the owner's equity/wealth.- Rents will be paying the mortgage off, increasing the owner's equity/wealth.- If you hold a rental until death, you can pass it on with a stepped-up cost basis, limiting captial gains if then sold (limited by inheritance tax limitations).Too many newbies on this site trying to replace their day job income via "passive" real estate investing w/o digging deep enough to understand how it really works.

Purchase price: $275,000 Second investment property purchased in 2021.

THEN I contact the agent and ask for concessions if I feel the needed repairs or costs go excessively above and beyond the price I’ve already negotiated.
