It is very simple and cheaper to set up the LLC in NJ vs NY ($50 vs $200 when going on the state website) what is still an open question is I also need an operating agreement for the LLC once set up, wondering if that is also free as part of just getting the LLC set up on the state website or if I need to use a lawyer or a legalzoom type of service to do that.

There's a campground in Robbinsville, NC called Simple Life Mountain Retreat.

I like to keep things as simple as possible, but I was excited to dig into this one because knowledge is power, and the better we understand these things, the more we can use them to our advantage in real estate.So here’s what’s happening—your CPA is basically saying you’re already showing a loss on your taxes because of all the expenses that came with closing, insurance, HOA fees, etc.

He get's principal and simple interest payments over a number of years.I'll manage the deal and the property.Looking to create a proforma for this that would fit a typical rental analysis but insert the detail of having private money cover the DP.

You are using both tax sale and mortgage foreclosure in your posts, so I can understand why this post went unanswered for so long.If we are talking the upset tax sale, the simple answer is that the liens remain in place.If we are talking judicial tax sale, the simple answer is that the liens will be divested (at least for those where proper service of the notice of tax sale was properly delivered to the lien holders).Which leaves mortgage foreclosure.

The city also confirms if the utilities have capacity which they do.Its a simple case of NIMBYs having a huge voice in this jurisdiction. you are doing everything right. just file a couple lawsuits get a good lawyer and keep going. 

Things like this are why it's important to work with a professional who is well versed in real estate taxation because the "common/simple" strategies taught frequently like BRRR or house hacking actually get fairly complicated when it comes to handling it correctly. 

We need to find a good app/website for them to send rent as well, preferably one that has many things built into it, making it more simple to manage things in one place.

I am an experienced investor and unexpectely find myself managing a duplex myself and wondering if there is a small landlord (aka inexpensive) simple solution for marketing, background checks and lease creation that markets on zillow?
