@Glenn N.Same as jay you pay taxes on the state you are in.If you were to foreclose take it back and sell it then you pay taxes in that state as well as its real property you own

I have some I will be posting that have turned up.  

I think most squatters in houses wont pay the taxs  but I suppose there are rare cases like my brother.

What are some of the best techniques to shut down those who protest against landlords who want to charge high rates in a neighborhood facing gentrification?

It is November 25th and there is only about 35 days left in the year with a lot of professionals who take off the last week of the year.Given that information, you will likely need to buy a poperty with a quick close to achieve what you are looking to do.

That gets you no where.  

I don't have any pending legal issues at the moment, but I've been thinking I should find a lawyer that I can go to for questions, to review documents, leases, etc so that I can have confidence that I'm not making any silly mistakes that will get me into trouble later on.

Yes, I think I can do that.

I dont have any experience in this market but have looked into it a little bit, I know that you can get the houses pretty cheap there but my concern was with the long term appreciation - I dont believe it is a highly desirable place to live and so there wont be much appreciation -however that is just my opinion and I really didnt look into it much,  I think it would be a cool place to live as I go to Monterrey all the time, but its hard to say. 

Are they all the same square footage also?
