What are some things to consider before attempting to invest in this tax lien?

In the absence of another LLC this would assume running activities through our existing investment entity. 

Would you invest in the bad areas?

It seems you are the only person who understood the question wanting to know what a seller makes (not even sure how or why you think that).As a typical part of the DD process it is not uncommon to ask for property/entity tax returns.

@Lotus EliI find myself asking if he is really positioned to do real estate investing?  

Typically, as the wholesaler, you pay for the inspection upfront, but you can sometimes negotiate this.In New Jersey, the end buyer usually covers closing costs in an assignment deal, but it should be clearly stated in the contract.Let me know if you need more details or further assistance with financing!

Take a close look at both the property types, analyzing their average nightly rates and occupancy trends.As you search for investment properties, consider those with both pools and stunning views.

In both your scenarios, the lender should be able to recoup their investment provided there are no other creditors (or at least liabilities that exceed assets).
