(tax & municipal liens often survive the foreclosure - so if you buy one with those on it -  you are on the hook to pay them after the fact.)  

Am I correct in my understanding that after the house is built and a CO is issued, we can work with a traditional bank/lender to get the new home appraised and take out a traditional mortgage on the home for XX amount (the amount owed to HELOC and hard money lender)? 

Many tax sale properties derive from estates where the heirs take no action and the property goes to tax auction.

Is it maybe because this income hasn't been captured in a full year's taxes yet?

Obviously, all this income will funnel down to you on your tax return, but you should have go into your LLC if you have it titled that way

At the moment Im into wholesale and tax lien/deed.

You could use the equity in your house, likely tax-free since you lived there the last three years.

Hello everyone, hope all are well, I'd appreciate insight on a question- if I take bonus depreciation after a cost segregation study in a year, then do STR and it's just not for me, can I then convert to long term leases the next year and still benefit from the deduction in year one or is that owed back somehow (other than recapture at time of sale) Thanks!

I think you're right if you categorize them on your taxes as maintenance they will limit you more on a refi. 2.

Price vs taxes/insurance vs rents attainable ?
