Coming from the buy and hold side of investing, I'm very focused on cash flow, cash on cash, and then looking at the other ways that I value a deal (appreciation, principal paydown, etc.).  

@Ben Stanley If you are talking about a house hack where you rent extra bedrooms that will be a little different than buying a 2-4 unit property and living in one of the units.

Investment Info:Condo buy & hold investment.

I understand buying a property via tax sale or OTC tax deeds wipe out majority of liens if there are any against property.

Well, most of the time (maybe all of the time) you're buying HUD houses "as-is" and you're not really using the presumed condition of the plumbing as a bargaining chip.

Has anyone had luck putting up “we buy houses” lawn signs of their own?

I think insurance will want you to replace the electrical, and if you're in Florida, they make you change the hot water heaters if they're older than 15 years.You're buying on pro forma, but you're borrowing on actuals.

Investment Info:Small multi-family (2-4 units) buy & hold investment.

Does anyone have a template to use to create a P&S doc when you're buying a property subject to?

There is also no open house for this property, I would have to buy it sight unseen.
