Hi @Harold Rutila, I would avoid any lengthy rehab for a BRRRR, you gonna need to use Private or Hard money on your acquisition and rehab since the conventional lenders won't finance until it's stabilized.

Some towns don't sell the liens, some do it with a bid process of the entire portfolio, some sell one offs.When you buy a tax deed in MA, (strange verbiage here in MA) you are not buying the property, you are buying the lien, and you go through a lengthy collection process, which may eventually result in a judgement at the end giving you the property, or you may have gotten paid off by then.  

Never buy in rural areas as the quality of tenant is very low and vacancies will be lengthy.

Thanks, and apologies for the lengthy read.

Sorry for the lengthy introduction but I'd like you guys to understand my mindset on this.On to my question: I am considering getting a sizable personal loan, more than considering really, heavily leaning that direction.

Therefore, they only have one thing in mind, just the cash flow Now calculations like CCR or GRM, etc.Sorry about the lengthy posting and I'm leaving out a lot.

If there are overdue taxes, sometimes there are steps they can take to claim the property.You can also go to your state's business registration website and potentially find out the names and addresses of the former business owners.Good luck!

Thanks to everyone who read this, (sorry if it was a little lengthy) and I look forward to meeting you all.

Would've been a costly and lengthy process to get it done legally and would have killed the deal for me.I guess if the price is right then it still could work

Your advise is great but is to lengthy?
