I used to have several out of state investors who would buy houses in Memphis via the online tax sale auction, then hold them for a year so the redemption period ended, then they would hire an attorney to "quiet" the title which would take 4-6 months and cost roughly $5000 but then they had clear title and would sell it "as-is" to other investors or hire me and list it on the MLS and get higher offers.

Loans typically get paid back on a refinance or buy out period but if the property fails to gain enough equity within that period of time it can be a lost deal and painful.I would advise you to look into traditional or Non/QM financing where you use your credit score or income to buy the home.

The agreement should last 4-5 days.If I don't like that home, and I think I want to engage a buyer agent for more in depth services over a longer period of time, then I will entertain other buyer representation agreements, but I will not agree to over 2%, which is the maximum recommended by the Consumer Federation of America.To be fair, if my needs required my buyer agent to show me 30+ homes, or preview them since I am out of town, or something else that took an extraordinary amount of the agent's time, I would consider more than 2%.

You asked about a property you have listed for sale and property taxes that are coming due and the consequences of not paying them until the property sells.Generally, the local taxing authority will impose an interest penalty on any unpaid balance after the due date with a long grace period before you would have to worry about unpaid property taxes affecting your ownership of the property or your ability to sell.In all likelihood, the property taxes will become a part of the closing and will be deducted from your proceeds at the time of sale.By the way, property taxes are always in first lien position ahead of any other debts like mortgages.

(I never gave EMD as the listing agent didn't demand it)A wholesaler that I know did a JV with me and brought in an end buyer, (I have a fully-executed assignment agreement stating non-refundable EMD due, etc)However the end buyer didn't deposit and wanted to walk away, this is after the inspection period ended.Title agent says the end buyer is the one on the hook for the EMD, but if he's not responding to them and doesn't forfeit the EMD, does it somehow fall back on me?
