The math behind is like this 175k loan is roughly mortgage payment of 1408 per month ( This is with 9% interest rate, DSCR tend to be 1-2% higher ) + insurance and Taxes.

They were mostly fix and flippers who worked with tax foreclosures and HOA foreclosuresI have recently been doing research on tax liens and tax deeds, since they seem like the most realistic way for me to started with real estate investing.

I don't know the numbers on your property, so I'll create a hypothetical:Assume your principal and interest on a $300k loan is $1,263.You're sitting on the potential to get $155k (tax free, btw), but the rate will be 7.5%, taking you're principal and interest to $2,100.Yes, it's $900/month more, but you have $155k of tax free money in the bank.

Alos, I can't find the article, but I found one that really jumped into the numbers, and there's a lot of fees and taxes the hotel takes from your rentals that aren't shown up front.

@Kenji TominagaIf the taxes have already been paid by the seller they are prorated as part of closing costsIf you are talking about escrow payment taxes then some appear to have missed them as you would be paying those

There are also additional costs of operating and maintaining an LLC, like separate bank accounts, annual report filings, tax filings, etc.2.

Currently, I'm focusing on building capital, saving, and investing to have more cash on hand until my next project, so for now, I'm simply educating myself on tax codes, financial investing, syndications, accounting, and creative ways to get involved in real estate investing. 

But with the financed deal the renter pays the mortgage down allowing you to tap a percentage of the equity as a tax free loan.

Interest rates, insurance hikes, rise in real estate taxes, eviction delays, rising expenses and delinquency are just a few problems investors are encountering.
