I I dont mind funding with ground rent outstanding its always such a small sum .. but I just got referred to a BRRR investor that had 4 homes in Balt city ready to close and the lender pulled out last second.. so they called me :) AS the closing attorney knows I will do these deals.

Know lots of Salt Lake investor realtors, but he's outstanding.

At that point you would be required to make the interest payments each month based on the outstanding balance. 

The cost for having the property vacant for two months in a year is outstanding, unless you have 15-20% projected vacancy in your property.  

The interest rate this year was 11% and if the account owner doesn't pay for the following year you get the first opportunity to purchase those outstanding taxes as well (also at 11%).

FNBA has been outstanding, and I plan to borrow from them again. 

Your number one factor is outstanding balance. 

After your put together a couple of deals you'll know his to document with the risk on the seller of how to profit when the liens do show up.Rick,When you say "structure your offer," do you mean to add an additional line to the contract to state that the seller is responsible for any and all outstanding liens, seconds, or taxes not previously mentioned in the initial offer? 

To clarify, yes many people don't realize that you have to pay off all the other outstanding certificates in order to send the property to tax deed auction, in order to collect your principal and interest.  

So, don't be afraid of outstanding redemption rights, but make sure that almost all of your improvements are preservation improvements rather than additions or upgrades.
