How is the county allowed to auction the property, putting me in the position of title holder, only for the bank to take it away with no recourse?

There are too many possible variants to play that game.  

The ATlanta contractor game is a real hustle because of how busy the area is, and nobody wants to lose the good contractor they found because they prob went through so many bad ones.

Hi BG Family,I'm seeking your help and guidance  in finding a Title company/Attorney who's Investor friendly in Brooklyn, Ny or New York, Ny.Im pretty sure you guys have the knowledge and recommendations.

I realize the purpose of seller financing can often be to get the seller the price they want and as long as you're cash flowing on the deal you're ahead of the game. 

He needs to take title to $300K of that property to satisfy his 1031. 

lol Im born and raised here and beginning my real estate journey  Id love to soak up some game from you!

1031 proceeds have to be arranged to be received by an accomodater and not by you personally, so the first property won't work.The other 2 properties sound like they have already changed title as well & been sold so those won't qualify for 1031 either.

A high quality, ethical Flat fee MLS would disrupt this industry and be a game changer to the industry. 

Properties get titled in the legal name of the acquiring individual or entity (not in the DBA)... so other than branding, DBAs are of little value in a real estate investment business.
