I would use the S-Corp to avoid paying SE taxes. 

I agree with @Ibrahim S that tax sales, per se, are not a ver practical way of acquiring title to desirable property.However, properties that appear on defaulted tax lists are often ripe for approaching property owners who are "don't wanters" ready to sell, despite having no other outward indications (signs, listing or other affirmative indications).

And that is really poorly worded, as you aren't really buying the lien (note) per se.

I’m in the SE side of the Houston area but can travel whenever I don’t work at my W-2 job.

Hello, Im 29 and been looking at Thailand and other SE Asian countries for possible international rentals/global pit-stops for when i retire from the service.

Right now, you have little to no room for errors.One tax comment, even though taxes are a separate conversation from profits: you will pay 15% SE tax PLUS regular Federal income tax PLUS Virginia state income tax.

You will have to use a lawyer because you cannot represent yourself properly in these higher courts (I think technically you can but it is hardly ever done as a pro se litigant).

Not in your area, but wanted to share my thesis on multifamily here: https://www.biggerpockets.com/blogs/10553/79631-se...Please let me know your thoughts, additions, edits, and or comments.

There is no special criteria per se for Premier property management to manage the BuyMemphisNow homes.
