Jack and Jill homeowners have to pay off their mortgage and buy again, so aren't good SF candidates.All of my SF buys have been from tired landlords that owned free and clear.

Hi everyone! I bought a house this year and I’m worried doing taxes. Where do y’all start? I obviously want to pay the lowest taxes over time. How do you write things off? Where do I start?

Multiple people had some bad things to say about the area, but when I moved and realized that it was a low income area with a lot of homeowners, I was motivated to improve the property to match the effort my neighbors have put in. 

But to your question...none of our homeowners are actively marketing their properties.

Quote from @Hanna Brown: @Jay Hinrichs If the bidder at the auction pays cash for keys to get the homeowner out, does the person redeeming from the owner position (exercising rights of redemption w/in 180 days) have to reimburse them for those costs they paid to get the homeowner out? 

Quote from @Anthony Michael Hamza: Quote from @Taz Zettergren: @Anthony Michael HamzaCongrats on making the transition from homeowner to investor!

Your  property taxes will be higher since it won't be your primary residence and your INSURANCE will be much higher too, since your policy would be a dwelling policy and not home owner policy.

They've never been in another house in the neighborhood.Now often they will have more neighborhood or city knowledge, that I may not have, but I ask them questions that I think are important to the sale or value.Many homeowners focus on the wrong things. 

✅ No risk, no cash out of pocket✅ You work with, cooperate with, the homeowner instead of negotiating against them✅ No tenants and toilets✅ No maintenance or repairs✅ Short-term deals with sizeable assignment fees✅ Those fees can fund long-term strategies like buy-and-hold or fix-and-flipIf you’re an aspiring investor looking for a low-cash entry point into real estate, Cooperative Assignments are an effective strategy.  

I cannot recall anytime we have ever rented back to a prior homeowner - why?
