The purchase price of this property was only $170K. 

I am looking into purchasing a second (vacation) home and would love to hear your thought on the pros and cons of going a conventional 30-year second mortgage vs. using a HELOC or Home Equity Loan on my Primary Residence to purchase the second home outright. 

There is no set time for the county to foreclose on the property via a tax sale, according to this article purchasers of the tax lien certificate have to wait 5 years, as the owner has a redemption period after the tax sale, so you could be waiting a while, and if I'm not mistaken, you have to pay the taxes each year until the 5 year period is over, then you have to file for a deed or file a lawsuit to quiet title.https://smartasset.com/mortgage/how-to-buy-tax-liens-in-cali...Hope this helps,Dustin

I live in NJ but am looking to purchase an investment property in NY State.   

Purchase price: $232,500 Cash invested: $45,000 Newly renovated SFR in Shore Acres, St.

For experienced investors who have done 5+ similar rehab projects, I can lend up to 100% of the purchase price and 100% of the rehab on light 1-4 unit rehabs. 

I used a hard money loan to purchase this off market deal.I rehabbed the upper two units within two and a half weeks and have a renter already lined up for one unit.

Purchase price: $325,000 Cash invested: $50,000 This time I acquired a property that needed little to no work.

Purchase price: $275,000 Second investment property purchased in 2021.

It's a good idea to connect with a realtor in the area where you would like to purchase.
