I would like to build a duplex on it for long term rental income.

Hi BiggerPockets Community,I’m looking for advice on breaking even or generating positive cash flow with my studio condo in Prospect Heights, NYC.

There is currently not a mortgage on the property, but due to the s-corp ownership, refinancing is not going as easily as I'd hoped.

depending on how backed up the county is it can e take a few months for court date. in essex county it took my mother in law about 8 months or so for the full process. she had an attorney, not sure if that sped anything up

Quote from @Saul Vargas: looking in Phoenix or Vegas, do you guys have a better market on mind?

The meters are rented and the monthly fee ($7.50) can be charged to the tenant on their statement. 

I couldn't find much information about them online besides their own blog posts and a few interviews with the founders, who were promoting MHP business and themselves. 

After years of self-managing our single-family rentals, we decided to hire a property manager to provide full service management.

Quote from @Jed Butikofer: Quote from @Henry Clark:   On line look for property listings that aren’t in the auction  I have researched as you suggested and found a pretty good understanding of what these property tax sales are and it looks like a great opportunity.

Do you use any tools or services to automate the process, or is it something you manually handle?
