Pursuant to Section 3712 of the Revenue and Taxation Code, the tax deed conveys title to the purchaser free of all encumbrances of any kind existing before the sale, except:• Any lien for installments of taxes and special assessments, which installments will become payable upon the secured roll after the time of the sale.• The lien for taxes or assessments or other rights of any taxing agency that does not consent to the sale under this chapter.• Liens for special assessments levied upon the property conveyed which were, at the time of the sale, not included in the amount necessary to redeem the tax-defaulted property.• Unaccepted, recorded, irrevocable offers of dedication of the property to the public or a public entity for a public purpose, and recorded options of any taxing agency to purchase the property or any interest therein for a public purpose.Any federal Internal Revenue Service liens that, pursuant to provisions of federal law, are not discharged by the sale, even though the tax collector has provided proper notice to the Internal Revenue Service before that date....according to that, California tax sales doesn't seem pretty free and clear to me.

I hope that you can contribute some none salesy type information about investing in internation markets in the appropriate forums her on Bigger Pockets.I am sure you will understand the culture and mantra of this board soon enough.

Therefore I could actually study abroad and not go broke doing it.So it looks like I will be doing an international business degree in Payap University, Thailand.

Sure, its the June 19, 2008 Realty Times, "Holding Property in an LLC Just Got Tougher" by Diane Kennedy"Freddie Mac, one of the two largest underwriters of conforming loans on the secondary market, have changed their internal rules to state that they will no longer refinance a property that has been inside of a Limited Liability Company (LLC) for any time within the past 6 months."
