It's supposed to ensure there are no surprises after closing.

The furniture packages they have are very expensive, but it supposedly adds 25% to your total bookings. 

It also defies the very logic of what a tax certificate is supposed to be.

But like Patrick points out, each city has their own processes and some have point of sale violations, and Cleveland is supposed to start doing this in the fall, so the best thing you can do is to find an experienced agent / broker who can help navigate these issues with precision and ease!

Here is our first deal:- We each hold 50/50 of the property on the title (I contributed 80% of downpayment, and he was supposed to contribute 20% to the downpayment, and we got a hard money loan)- after we sold the property, I had to fill out the 539 form for withholding tax in CA.- The partner brought in a cash contributor for his portion (let's say A, who got 50% of my partner's profit, basically 25% of the profit) to the deal and put a lien on the property.

REI is supposed to make life better, not worse.

Then on the day we were supposed to close I learned that we did not have have enough "liquid assets".
