There may be a property tax benefit to leaving pieces.

@Frank FloresInvesting in delinquent tax sales in Houston can be profitable, but it comes with risks.

“I’m literally the nation’s leading expert in tax liens and tax deeds,” he boasts in one installment.

I do it myself and takes 20 to 30 minutes a month (did it yesterday for Dec), with about 7 of those minutes for 1 property in Blount County, TN which requires the form to be manually filled out, write a check, address an envelope, scan doc and check for my records and walk it to my mailbox.

The absolute best way to avoid taxes is not earn income.  

With this said, all went through fine I was contacted by the FHA representative about three months of owning the deal and I had to write a letter explaining why I had not occupied the premises.

If the condition is similar to the market average but your rent is severely under market rate then I take an average between the current rent and the market rent and send them the following message 2 months before their lease is up (assuming you aren't in a rent control market),Dear Tenant,Some nice words and remind them that their lease is up within 2 months, please select the following options about their new lease, also mention that you are doing the best you can to maintain the rent as low as possible but with inflation, insurance and property taxes increasing, you have to raise the rent to keep up with the rising expenses. 1.

No benefit tax-wise. 

The reality is the opposite - if it's not in writing then the PMC doesn't have to provide the service or can charge extra for it!

My question is how can someone be so far off on value and continue to keep their job?
