What else are they going to do when they are politically appointed and can't pursue and lock up violent criminals wrecking havoc in communities or pursue big multinational corporations who have judges and lawmakers in their pockets?

We’re weighing whether to leverage our funds by putting 20-30% down and financing the rest, or to buy properties outright in cash and then pursue a cash-out refinance.I wasn’t previously aware that each person in a household can have up to 10 mortgages under their name.

@Elan Adler do it as a token of appreciation and a pay ahead for other folks that search  BP agents and realize this.The decision to pursue this property isn't terrible, but I think it's for different reasons.

The risks and delays are why many no longer pursue tax sale properties. 

Now, I’m diving into the niche of land investing.When I was pursuing the BRRRR strategy, one of the aspects that made scaling seem feasible was the availability of hard or private money lenders.

I suppose I have it in my mind that I'm only able to get a LOC after I've appreciated the property, let it season, and then pursue an appraisal/refi.

If you've been active in this business and actively pursuing a profit during the year, the loss the business generates could help offset other income on your tax return. 

This affects which strategy you could pursue.

However, as this is my first time pursuing such an investment, I am uncertain about how quickly these properties can be sold after purchase.

I never go off of a flat percentage on anything, I analyze the costs to get to a specific return I target and analyze the risk that is involved. 70% may be an initial metric to see if it is even worth pursuing, but every deal should be evaluated independently based on costs, time and risk involved.
