I also pulled the trigger on 1 pasco tax deed sale.

Some are saying that by adding me to the trust, we will have to pay the transfer tax (for my portion only) because I am not on title.

Insurance has gone up quite a bit, property taxes and HOA fees as well.

So say they paid on the 1st but you have a fire on the 15th you would owe them a refund for unusued days if you wrote like I do.

@Kevin Drouillard most PMCs do not pursue collections after a tenant moves out.Check the eviction judgment to see if a money judgment was included.If not, you will need to pursue small claims judgment.Once you have a money judgment you can try to garnish (another court process) wages, bank accounts or state tax refunds.

Typically, to qualify for loans when contract or self employed, you need two years of tax returns for a typical loan.

We primarily focus on vacants, preforeclosures, tax liens, and pre-probate leads.  

The basic rule for the amount of cash to have at hand is 3 months of ALL expenses as if the rental was unoccupied and you had to pay all the utilities on top of the full Primary mortgage, Interest, Taxes, and Insurance (PITI).As well, it's pays to have a bit more because life happens.Good Luck!

There are tax filings and yearly fees associated with them. 

The no-income tax and growing city were all a plus!
