Eventually I went to investment property (local purchase) and vacation home (2 out of state purchases).

Since Texas is a tax deed state, you gain ownership at auction, but the previous owner has 6 months to 2 years to redeem it by paying your bid plus 25% interest (in year one).

Never pay an upfront fee.You didn’t mention your state but understand that with little exception, an NMLS registration is only required for consumer-purpose loans.

In Columbus, you can still find the 1% rule and there's amazing appreciation potential due to how much population growth, job growth, and companies moving/developing there (recently Anduril just announced another 4,000 jobs coming to Columbus Ohio on top of Intel, Google, Amazon, FB, Nationwide, Ohio State University, etc.).

The City seems open to it as long as the contracts are structured the right way.

Currently, I am looking at Hemlame for local, I tried to use them for an out-of-state investment property, but the cost with an agent would end up far greater than a full-service property manager.The dream option would combine all accounting, bill pay, rent collection, provide eviction services, and maintenance coordination outside of normal hours.

In addition, some states have different regulations tooI'm sure that someone that specializes in Insurance can give more insight into what is and isnt necessary or best for our properties.

Unfortunately, some blue law states (e.g., Massachusetts) don't allow us to leave alcohol in our Airbnbs...

Massachusetts has a 5% state LT capital gains tax, but it generally follows the federal exemption rules.If the home was a rental property, the exclusion does not apply, and you may also owe depreciation recapture tax (typically taxed at 25% for federal).

Hello all - I am an out of state investor, and am exploring investing in SFH or small MFH (duplex/triplex/quadplex) in the Indy market.
