STR's in Pinellas have declined in 2023 from 2020-2022 due to the COVID boom the area experienced. 

It is currently booming like crazy mainly due to all the US factory jobs that have migrated here.

I live in Wesley Chapel and it's booming and there is a ton to do here.

Business is booming and we are cash flowing insanely well and we were super excited about how well things were going, however we have been considering selling it as an investment property to other investors.

It depends on the state.The Orange County website says this about tax auctions: "Pursuant to Section 3712 of the Revenue and Taxation Code, tax deeds convey title to the purchaser free of all prior encumbrances (mortgage liens, judgment creditors, etc.) of any kind EXCEPT liens specified by Section 3712, Lis Pendens actions and any Federal Internal Revenue Service (IRS) liens that, pursuant to provisions of federal law, are not discharged by the sale, even though the Tax Collector has provided proper notice to the Internal Revenue Service before that date.

Sellers are still living in the 2017 boom era. 

What neither of us has been able to figure out is how to identify what taxes she will owe on the interest income portion of the seller financing and who that income needs to be paid to (i.e. the IRS/foriegn tax collector).

Then you laughed as you called the collector to whom you would sell it for $16,000. 

However their real estate market is booming!  

Hey Will I gotta say I agree with Braden I too went to that seminar and even though we learned great stuff there are other ways around that huge expense that they charge and this website will help immensely also i do not know if you are aware or not but right now Florida is booming with great investment opportunities so take advantage of living in a great state.
