I am looking for advice if I should just pay my taxes up front when using pre tax funds in lieuof having the IRA own the property and deferring taxes

It comes with a library of loan docs you can use like disclosures, MLDS, 1003, term sheets, pre-approvals, promissory notes, etc...

TAX CERTS are a bizzness not something you do as a passive investor or someone like me who is busy with their core business.. thankfully it was only 30k All that and the SC Hennepin Decision last year now causing states to re-write their laws so that if an investor does somehow end up converting a lien to a deed, that investor may be liable to tax defaulter for the difference between the lien and market value of the property, Tax Liens seem to be VERY MUCH a place where only the big money, interest investors can make it worthwhile.Fortunately, Texas has "immediate" possession Tax Deeds so we keep our focus there. little bit diffferent but in 07 ish WA and OR passed new foreclosure rescue laws that stated if you bought a property pre foreclosure and sell it within 3 years you owe the person who lost it 80% of the gain..

@Zachary LuchsStep 1: Get Pre-Qualified by a Lender.Step 2: Find an investor friendly agent who also owns rental properties in the market you are interested in, a good agent will also either manage properties for you or will have a relationship with a property manager that they can set you up with.

I had done a pre/post inspection with the tenants with all the items that needed attention/repairs.

are you pre-approved for a loan?  

if needing a loan - you should get pre approved for what you think you will need . 

Inventory is now very substantially above the extreme lows seen in recent years, when inventory in the Austin area fell below 1 month (very extreme imbalance between demand and supply) for a sustained period.Here are the full stats for Austin and the greater metro:Here’s a chart showing the median sales price of a single family home in the City of Austin over the past two years:The median price for a single-family home in May 2024 was down roughly 10% from May 2022, which was the most recent pricing peak in the Austin market.For some context, here’s a chart of the median sales price of a single-family home in Austin over the past 10 years:As you can see, pricing Austin is still substantially above pre-pandemic levels.

We expect a still-sizable gap between 2024 housing inventory and the pre-pandemic housing market to persist as it closes only gradually.

Although, I realize that tax implications will be severe on using pre tax money and will reflect as income.Thanks.
