@Melissa HarrisSure ok so it’s called Tax Lien Certificates.

Does the Wyoming LLC have a Certificate of Authority to do business in Tennessee?

I call this out as it's no fun to pay for inspections etc just to find out that the Lender Certification will fall through when finalizing the loan.I hope this helps.

Certifications that the city or state requires are worth researching to avoid headaches.

Also, what are the certifications I should start studying for?

This winter I will receive my real estate license and post-grad I will receive my real estate certificate from the school.

I’m a Canadian looking to possibly invest in tax lien certificates as a means to acquire investment properties.

The competitive edge is in your favor as traditional investors are turning towards other investments like Certificates of Deposit (CDs) or US Treasury bonds.

Hi @Frank UgbohI disagree with much of the comments above - if the city of Chicago will only give a zoning certificate for 2 dwelling units and there are 3-4, then if the city department of buildings ever came in to inspect (they don't do this at point of sale, but it happens in most suburbs), they will likely require you to deconvert to original use (likely unfinished space) or get plans/permits.

As far as the STVR stuff goes, Savannah is extremely regulated and capped on the number of properties that have a certificate that make them eligible to rent short term.
