Focus on absentee owners and start with the ones who live the farthest away and only own one property in the area since they have the least use for the property.You can also drive for dollars, looking for anomalies of disrepair and then look them up in the tax records and use a site like Spokeo to do cheap skip tracing.

Is the process the same as buying property in Canada?

Hey guys if a city worker who can buy properties for half off on the land bank as part of there benefits would it be worth it.

Purchase price: $68,000 Cash invested: $70,000 Sale price: $195,000 I purchased a long-term rental property from the MLS that had multiple contractor issues and significant delays.

Looking for something with low acquisition cost, and meets or exceeds the 1% rule.  

Fewer but better properties.

A high property tax rate will increase the taxes more quickly as a percentage of total expenses when the property value increases.

The replacement property must be similar in that it is another rental property. 

Thanks again.GeneI would use a PML for the acquisition and rehab.

And they don't have evictions, busted furnaces, or the hassle factor of property.
