I wrote this recently to a prospective client and thought it was worth sharing to anyone who is looking to know more about the Tucson marketThese are per my experience and have no issue if others would like to add to it.

Hello Jadan, iam new to this platform, but i know a developer who will give yo a 25% return in nine months.

BTW, your "criteria" are likely just "rules of thumb" you developed (which is great!)

I intern for a developer, I'm learning so much and one of things I've been noticing is that it seems that all the good deals have been taken lol.

Purchase price: $28,000 Cash invested: $28,000 Raw land, and 2 adjacent lots to be developed into duplex rental What made you interested in investing in this type of deal?

You can see the development in the area is in full swing.

Obviously, the rules will differ from state to state.The most successful buyers have trusted bidders with cashier’s checks in multiple denominations (for cash sales) and the actual buyers have field runners and people to monitor multiple prospective properties at a given time and check sales status for postponements due to BK, etc.This is the case in larger metro markets where many properties could go to sale but few do so.There are often better ways to acquire properties then auctions.

Cross border taxation is very complicated, most developed countries like the US and Canada have sophisticated systems to ensure their residents pay taxes, and you are not likely to be able to achieve your goal of not paying Canadian taxes on Florida income while a Canadian resident. 

Develop YOU'RE strategy.
