They could be the same entity/person or at least know each other.In total $3.4 million of liens were sold in 2010 and $4.0 million were sold in 2011.This is what happens when a tax lien geek has a few extra minutes to look at spreadsheets of past results...Jerry

I feel it adds an extra layer of protection to ensure the area remains in decent shape.

Your not paying extra and you have someone looking out for your best interest.

When an offer is accepted, create 1234 Madison Street LLC with CashBuyer LLC as the owner and then hold the property in 1234 Madison Street LLC.This approach would also add an extra layer of protection and wouldn't require you to submit offers in your own name or make a new LLC every time you want to put in an offer.

I make a living from investing, not from speaking.And Joshua Dorkin is telling the absolute truth.

I just don't like the extra paperwork.

This cost no more than finishing a room and is worth the extra effort in standing above the competition.

Problem is the renter is getting the extra money and not the landlord.The landlord is getting the extra usage and wear and tear and higher water bill.Thoughts.......

I'm looking to buy, rent for the extra cashflow, then eventually sell down the road when and if the price is right.I'm also planning on moving across the country in about 2-3 years...perhaps even sooner, but I don't want to wait that long to start investing because it might not be a buyers market then.So, I'm not sure if I should invest here now and then manage from afar after I move, or start investing there and manage from afar now.

The wholesaler may be truthful, but at the end of the day, there's a conflicting interest in his opinion of value.
