Instead though, I don't want to sell it but use the refinance money to buy more, I've been thinking about buying back taxed houses in the area. 

The contrasting growth patterns between Oregon and neighboring Washington suggest that factors such as taxes and public services are influencing these trends.portlandmetrochamber.comOverall, Portland's housing market in early 2025 reflects a balanced environment, with steady home prices and a healthy inventory, offering opportunities for both buyers and sellers.

Using Zelle, CashApp, etc. makes your taxes harder and it's all not in a system.I agree, EXCEPT for the automatic payments.

My wife and I have business income and our accountant can divide the income according to what would be the best for reducing tax liability.  

I have a main company, that owns a bunch of LLCs, each LLC holds a single real estate asset. 1 of the LLC also acts as a management company for the entire portfolio.Now it creates a problems that with each LLC, I need to file a tax return each year. and so far I am doing them by excel copying numbers from bank statement, which is a nightmare.Quickbook online charges $24 each month in Canada, which really adds up with the number of holding LLCs. and I don't feel like what I require from it justify the cost.

@Mickael Castillo Are they current on the taxes?

I work a lot with investors outside of the US from a tax perspective but from a mortgage perspective, as mentioned above hard money or DSCR is probably your best bet.

I'm a licensed contractor in NYC and I have a good friend who's family owns a property here in Crown Heights Brooklyn that’s basically all paid off and taxes are up to date.

Otherwise they would have sold, taken the tax free cash and moved on.
