Taxes 3.

Also, for a situation that owner simply refused to pay insurance/taxes and let it go foreclosure.

Ask yourself what you are looking for (cash flow, appreciation, tax benefit, etc).

Any tips and guidance will be appreciated.

If you just want to add real estate to your portfolio and the benefits like cash flow, appreciation, and tax benefits, you might be better off investing passively.

I would do a minimum of 6 months of PITIA payments saved (mortgage payment + insurance + tax + HOA) and put aside $15k for closing costs (it should cost less but to be safe).

Do all of them provide real estate tax benefits including depreciation like the one that Cardone Capitol offers?

I would venture to say that 95% of properties listed today on the market will not cash-flow at a 7-8% investment interest rate once you factor in principle, interest, taxes, insurance, and a maintenance / capex reserve.
