As a real estate investor how can I increase my chances of having my contract chosen over others?

I have chosen the Durham market (primarily for 2 reasons, I am tad bit familiar and also would like to own it as either a secondary home/rental property).The question that I have is, property taxes in Durham county are pretty high, roughly 1.3%, but I have been told by a property manager that the assessed value always comes up lower than the actual fair market price or the sale price (on a new home), and it's more in the tune of 1%.

Things will work out fine as long as you're consistent with whatever strategy you've chosen.

A writ of execution has been handed down, and they have chosen to sell this non-exempt property. 

I always recommend that out of state investors make a trip to their chosen market to meet the people they're considering working with, prior to any buying any properties.

Hello Scott, I haven't done business with other property managers, I have met one of them personally and would have chosen them would I not be a manager myself - PropertyCare.

@Nguyen Quach  The one in Humboldt TN was chosen over Coffeyville. 

If this initiative gets on the ballot and is voted in, then it's chosen by the people as a method of ensuring they have better quality homes to rent. 

You've chosen a great place as a resource! 

Please indicate the pros and cons of your chosen entity structure.Naturally I expect many of you are C Corps, S Corps and maybe some LLCs.
