Fast forward to a year later the wife’s business had collapsed and they moved out as scheduled.

There is no set time for the county to foreclose on the property via a tax sale, according to this article purchasers of the tax lien certificate have to wait 5 years, as the owner has a redemption period after the tax sale, so you could be waiting a while, and if I'm not mistaken, you have to pay the taxes each year until the 5 year period is over, then you have to file for a deed or file a lawsuit to quiet title.https://smartasset.com/mortgage/how-to-buy-tax-liens-in-cali...Hope this helps,Dustin

After they went up in 2022 and many people including myself thought they were going to come down the next year, but that did not happen.

@Jaycee Greene after the year living there at first property can you get a second fha loan but have to live for a year too on the next one?

Median prices are up 4.4% year over year, and average prices up 2.2%.

Lots of folks invest here. 15+ years Realtor/Wholesaler experience.

It'll likely pick up again at some point, I'm hoping that this summer will be much better than last year was. 

You can still get a 30 year fixed conventional DSCR loan for rental properties.

Spoke with multiple credit unions and they mentioned a rental property needs to show at least two years of rental income in order for that income to be counted into the DTI ratio. 

All of our properties we have had for 5-10 years, so lots of equity.
