By the time they are done the end price they paid was pretty much the same price of a totally custom home design... 

@David Jenkins @Stephen Anderson I totally agree that the Multifamily Investing Academy with Charles Dobens is one of the best Real estate courses out there.  

There is NO registry for Trusts (like there is for LLC's and Corp's) so you get total privacy of ownership...which is your first line of defense when it comes to crazy tenants and contingency fee lawyers (and their dead-beat clients).

Love to obviously have some do both.

I am more than willing to move to other cities to pursue real estate while working but obviously there is a lot of time and effort to move cities and jobs.

But you are totally right, both of us will be wrong, but wrong by how much?

With closing costs the total amount is $110,000.

In other words, let's say you buy a property where the total value is $200,000 and, of that, the structure value is $80,000 and the dirt is $120K, then you are only allowed to rehab the property for no more than $40,000 (50% of the $80K).

The clear and obvious answer would be to instantly pay the back taxes and offer a small lump sum for them to move with and just lowball in whatever structure works for the both of you weather that is a better sale price or a greater monthly payment to them and just find your middle ground that works out for you both.
