This is a tough business but if you want to try I recommend either simply contacting the local tax sale office and ask them what the process is.

I contacted a title agent, and used her expertise to find an investor friendly agent, a lender who could close, insurance etc.

Would love to discuss/ share info with you.

My main goal is to just purchase and flip my first property while using the contacts I have back home.

I appreciate the info provided so far, but I have more questions and I don't expect freebies from pros like yourself.I'm looking to get together a semi-solid idea of how this all works before I drill down, in depth with my usual accountant in a couple weeks (if I still decide to drill down with my usual accountant after learning more info on what I'm trying to do - from you or someone else.)My usual guy can't get to me right away and I'm in a time crunch, if this deal is going to happen the way I want it to (bonus depreciation decreasing by another 20% on Jan 1st)I really just need to understand Bonus Depreciation, in detail, and as it applies to my situation.I'm brand new to all of this.

Do you have any contractor recommendations and can you share their info?

It’s worth shopping around and asking different lenders about their specific jumbo loan programs.Recommendations:Shop around and contact specialty mortgage brokers or credit unions in your area that might have more lenient jumbo loan programs.Ensure you have at least 12 months of reserves ready in case the lender requires it.

At the end of the day I would probably go with propstream because it has way more to offer than just creating list.I'm just checking to make sure the owner info matches the county site and for the most part it does.

Also, get leads on the phone as a first method of contact if you can.
