I just hope BP has some tips on how to pick a good buy hold investment market and really does not have to coincide completely with tax lien sales.....im sure I can find info.

Being in a high tax bracket in France, I'm so far mainly interested in making deal(s) that can also help me decrease the tax pressure on our family while increasing our assets base.looking forward to exchanging with the community, be it from US, France (not sure there are members from France) or anywherelse.

Perhaps it is just coincidence, but ever time any agent/broker conversation comes up regarding commissions or their value to a transaction, almost all the pro agent comments come from agents and almost all the neg comments come from others.To be clear, when I used the word "standard" in the context of this conversation, I did NOT mean to say that it is required or that there is a standard, just to imply that the standard or average is a certain percentage.Of course everything is negotiable, but in certain industries, there are standard or average costs and as such, many just do not bat an eye, they just pay the quoted "standard" price.

I thought that you might find it interesting that by coincidence attached  a link to one of my past consulting projects that I left in 2015 as there were many problems with the developers and vision as well as the feasibility of the B2 building.

Coinciding with this downturn, I had borrowed funds for a few investments that were lingering on the market.

I am now testing a market that I know enough for my next investment property which happens to be in France but you don't have to go that far :-) I'd suggest you build enough experience with local rentals before you buy in a different area though.

We can change things and modify them if we find certain ways seem more efficient etc.I have no idea on how she does it but I think it will coincide with your goals on what you are trying to accomplish.  

Funny coincidence!

Weird Coincidence!

I have Terminix for my personal residence and had been meaning to schedule it at my rental so I thought it was too good of a coincidence.
