These responses are one of the reasons why I love this site.

However, if you're torn between 2 great options with one being familiar and one not, the familiar one breaks the tie IMO.If you're looking to use the property as a short-term rental, the following locations rank as the 5 best places to buy in 2018 (according to a recent report): Panama City Beach, FloridaChicago, IllinoisNapa, CaliforniaTulsa, OklahomaMemphis, TennesseeYou'll also want to consider any additional costs that may be required to effectively run the rental depending on the location and condition the property is in when it's purchased; including home upgrades, management fees, taxes, insurance, and utilities.Before you get in too deep, though, you'll want to check in on the local policies, rules, and regulations to ensure all of your bases are covered.

This site is great for resources when it comes to real estate investing and building your network.

Hi, I am new to the Real Estate investment world and would like to learn more an out multi family properties.More to the point I wanted to see if anyone had suggestions on sites or resources that are available that I could use to determine locations to start looking for opportunities.  

Well, Jessica, welcome once again and hope to see you around the site and hope we can eventually meet up and share stories. 

I was just going to rent the site out.

I may have misread the property appraiser site.

Tax certificates are sold around the first week of June each year...all you are doing is loaning money to the county, for a low rate as the rate gets bid down, and it can be an expensive process to get paid off sometimes.Tax deed auctions occur on the county clerk of court site, on the auction calendar along with the mtg foreclosures.

You can find a ton of RE clubs via Meetup site.
