I purchased a tax certificate for a property that sold to the state of Alabama in 2019.

I have been told by the Sec 8 rep in my area that once a section 8 propertiy is purchased the new owner does not have to apply for section certification, thereby making it impossible for that new owner to accept section 8 funds.

I came across ECornell's grad certificates and signed up for their Commercial Real Estate one.

I am concerned that the lack of NML licensing/certification is certainly apparent in the emails and the website is a red-light. 

Given the state of the stock market over the last few years, I'm looking for a way to invest in certificates to gain an interest rate higher than what banks are offering and returns that higher than the stock market right now.

You'll want to gather up the Articles of Incorporation, The Bylaws (signed and executed), The Certificate of Standing, and the IRS SS-4 form where you got your Tax ID.

Any time a contractor goes in a property, you can have their insurance agent send you a certificate of insurance w/ you as Certificate Holder. 

I missed this years tax auction so I was researching other ways to get tax certificates. 

Something to consider when thinking of cash flow....We are also renovating the units to 1) bring them up to date to get the Detroit’s Rental Property Certificate of Compliance, and 2) Raise the rent.

Also worth considering who is your labor force, is there a required assembler, is there a certification your GC needs to have this be Warrantied, consider the cost of rigging/hoisting, scaffolding, etc.
