I'm doing title search on properties for upset sale in PA and just learnt about inheritance tax liens.

If you are trying to pinch pennies on a development project than you simply have a bad deal and need to bail. 

I specialize in BTR duplexes in Indianapolis, and I’ve found that local connections are invaluable when assessing markets, especially for long-term strategies.Learn from Real Deals: As you move forward, it’s helpful to analyze real deals, even if you’re not ready to buy yet.

Most of my borrowers tell me that their biggest challenge is locating the deals that make sense on numbers/profits.

BP has various tools to help you analyze your deals (rentals, flips, wholesale, etc). : https://www.biggerpockets.com/investment-calculators7.

My out-of-state clients love it here because they are able to purchase deals at a very cheap price point and still meets the 1% rule.

(Although if you're looking to use this money for real estate in the next 3 years, I would NOT put it in the market.)I'd be putting the additional money into a high yield savings account, and keep my eyes out for a great real estate deal. 

Plus if there are any internet issues, then you have to deal with it.

We plan to build on our “Deal Finder”, introduce a mobile app, and build out solutions to help investors meet contractors, lawyers, wholesalers (avoiding wannabes who just bought some guru course), and maybe foray into commercial - allowing investors to connect with Commercial Brokers. 

I am happy with the outcome and look forward to closing this deal and being a repeat investor.
