Again, this is with commercial/investment property; owner occupied or consumer loans may have legal issues rendering this technique non applicable.  

I did go look at it, knew it was accessible by dirt road, and did a lot of research into who owned the easement.Won the auction, paid a tax title company to get clear title (right of redemption is 3 years). 

I don't care if I'm ahead or behind of anyone else because my goals are not relative to anyone else's progress.I get your point that staying active keeps your skills sharp and that if you're active when others aren't you will have access to opportunities that they do not.

@Jackie Liu what can you access on their portal?

Many Texas cities are incentivizing developers to build affordable housing units, but challenges remain around keeping these homes accessible long-term.

If the original tenant wants to claim their belongings, they must pay any unpaid rent, plus the cost of moving and storage, then I will give them access to pick up their belongings.

I've owned long term, short term and commercial (industrial) properties in the past, but never anything out of Province/State.Thanks so much!

You lock in your interest rate and if rates drop you can prepay at any time and refinance at a lower rate without penalty.If the deal is commercial, whether commercial multifamily (5+ units), office, industrial, self storage, hotel, you name it...the choice becomes far more difficult. 

Commercial buildings use triple net , and those costs get passed on to the tenants thru CAM fees . 

I work with many investors from Bigger Pockets in the Atlanta market and have access to both on and off market properties.
