Hi @Dusty EatonOne of your biggest drawbacks is a limited renter pool.

The draw back to these loans is that they are more paperwork heavy than the other "portfolio" types of loans....but if you have ever received a loan on your primary home, it's likely that you will go through the same type of paperwork here with conventional lending.

I have come up with a possession strategy that works for the right properties, so that isn't really a drawback to tax lien investing.

The drawback to this strategy is that you won't have enough equity to refinance that quickly. 

Drawback is this really only works locally so...

There are drawbacks to this, but I love using this strategy for deals we find on the MLS. 

The drawback is that the rates on these are variable, but they are typically interest only payments for the first 10 years. 

Just this month we had been notified that the request was accepted through to June, and the state has submitted payment for the period December through February.The drawback of the program itself is that you'll be waiting months to get paid, but the benefit is that once approved, you are guaranteed a check.

These all have their benefits and drawbacks, so you're going to want to do the work and investigate them yourself and let us know if you have any questions!

After all these drawbacks, costs and headaches, why not just get an umbrella insurance policy and buy and hold in your own name?
