Taxes aren't really a closing cost (except maybe for a buyer getting a conventional mortgage that requires an initial escrow deposit).I'd expect that most wholesaler contracts would not generally say the buyer would pay the pro-rated amount of real estate taxes owed.  

Initial term is 12 months, and will then renew annually unless owner terminates within 30 days of the end of the contract.

Correct me if I'm wrong, but in NY and NJ, the RE Agent typically does initial negotiation and from there both parties hire attorneys to draft the Sales Contract and handle closing. 

It will take a bit of hard work and some initial capital, but can be fruitful if you get good at it.

I have a young tenant with whom I had a difficult relationship initially – I think this may be the first time he’s lived on his own and he is a bit high maintenance but things have settled down.

From my initial research, it seems that vacant lots might be a higher value opportunity but there is the risk of long holding periods.

They're just my own notes.I initially signed on with one of the BIG national franchises.  

I work full time in a town of about 3000, but would like to focus my initial efforts about 25 miles away in a town of about 50000 people. 

We bought our first rehab/flip and have initially purchased it in my husband's name.

FNMA and Freddie loans are non-recourse and typically allow borrowers to apply for a FNMA or Freddie “supplemental” loan (2nd trust deed) after the first year of the initial loan term, which is a feature that distinguishes the GSEs from CMBS lenders whose standard programs prohibit secondary financing.
