Hope this helps, dm me if you have a specific question.

I have the funds to pay for the roof replacement, and I would pay for it ahead of the actual purchase, but hate loosing on the tax depreciation on installing a new roof since I'll be paying for something I don't own.

Remember that most of your profit is made on the purchase, meaning that you need to buy at a discount.  

It doesn't appear you are in position to purchase real estate at this time. 

I wanted to have the same title company for the entire process and was fortunate to find ETS as they would know from the beginning everything about the exchange and the parties involved and were licensed in both states where the sale and purchase transactions occurred.My initial conversations with Dave still left me with questions but only those that I did not know what to ask having not gotten to the different phases of this entire process.

I’m interested in purchasing a rental property and or properties if I can find the right deal.

They sell it for 4x assessed value, and taxing authority uses your purchase price as new value.  

I purchased a home on the MLS less than 90 days ago and renovated the home.  

If I were to purchase a property at the auction that is foreclosed for first mortgage but has code enforcement liens, will the code enforcement liens go away after I win the bid and pay off the mortgage or do the liens stay on property and I am responsible for them?

Owners mistakenly ASSUME all PMCs offer the exact SAME SERVICES and PERFORM those services EXACTLY THE SAME WAY, so price is the only differentiator.So, the first question they usually ask a PMC is about fees - instead of asking about services and HOW those services are executed.EXAMPLE: PMC states they will handle tenant screening – what does that specifically mean?
