Long Distance or Local

I used a local Agent.

I have a tractor and have successfully fed wildlife before doing this.However, there is not a lot of margin to make a profit as I see bare land selling actively in MLS listings for $2-4k more than what it will cost me to buy the tax sale and do a quiet title search (likely $3k apiece). 

Your locality may change the math for you.

Hi Dirk,What I've done in new markets I've invested in is join the local facebook community group pages and post about my needs - ISO of plumber, electrician, handyman, etc.

Another option would be to check with small local banks and credit unions. 

Even at 20% Federal Capital Gains would be $80,000 plus any state and local taxes, and 25% Depreciation Recapture, if any.

This post is for the STR investors who are looking to take advantage of the STR tax loophole which allows you to write off paper losses against your active income.

Better would be to create a partnership with a local company, like some kind of discount for referring every guest to them to use.

I’ve been attending my local Real Estate investment club meetings and trying to educate myself.So I guess what I’m really looking for are some success stories.
