I definitely think section 8 is a safe bet.

@Tom SaharThere are always deals to be found, but the effectiveness of your marketing techniques determines your success rate.

The townhouse is located near by Kennesaw State University, in a nice and safe neighborhood, not too far from downtown (about 30-45mins), with easy access to I75 (huge deal for Atlanta, especially if you work in downtown). 

It seems safe to say the properties with lengthy periods of tax non-payment are most likely to be houses the high bidder could foreclose upon.  

You can get the ball rolling using his techniques/ideas and then make sure your next purchase is in your LLC.

I would be happy to jump on a call and share my resources/techniques I have used in the past to get you started :) Send me a message! 

All are in my single member LLCs, so they pass directly through to my 1040 ... so I have a lot of schedule Es, 6252s & a ton of "Section 1.263(a)-1(f) de minimis safe harbor election" statements. 

One hypothesis I have is that this is a very safe residential area in Oakland where a lot of people say it's a place they want to grow family in.

The key is to buy a “good” property at a “good” price; if it can be financed with maximum leverage SAFELY, so much the better.  

Let me know man and stay safe with this incoming hurricane.
