Hi all, can I buy a property at the tax sales, pay cash for it, then refinance it into a loan after I own it? 

But it allows me to keep one bank account and file one tax return, while still spreading out over multiple entities. 

@Michael CampbellCounty tax office records or recorders officeIf it’s bank owned you will have to wait until their asset management company (3rd party) lists it for sale or attempts to auction it off on a site like auction.com etc

But let's not forget the importance of cash flow, and the impact of federal state and local taxes on our assets and cash flow also. 

Is your DSCR ratio greater than 1-meaning are you cash flowing (according to the lender's criteria of mortgage, property taxes and insurance (and HOA) if applicable).

The CPA is still doing the tax return. 

Taxes and insurance costs are "covered" in the rent.

Especially because in 10 years, if you need cash, you could consider a cash out refi, the tenants pay the mortgage, and you just got money tax free. 

Does that mean net cash in your pocket after interest, taxes, principal, insurance, repairs, maintenance, credit card fees, etc.?

if this is an owner occupied property and the loan was used by the owner to buy the property to live in.. then they are by federal law able to request a 3rd party mediator to meet with them and a representative from the bank and try to work out a re pay planthe issue is many in foreclosure never follow up on this and basically waive their right to this meeting. that would be step number one get into the federally mandated mediation if the owner and the property qualify.
