Here is the list of the “dirty dozen” scams.Arrangements that are potentially abusive:Monetized Installment Sales: violation of anti-pledging lawsMaltese Treaty Benefits for Pensions: Misuse of treaty provisionsForeign Captive Insurance: abnormal pricing, implausible risks, the company has no business purpose for entering into the arrangementCharitable Remainder Annuity Trusts (CRATS): to eliminate taxable gainsFraud that is consumer focused:Anonymous Communications: Scammers with the intent of defrauding taxpayersOffer in Compromise (OIC) Mills: Companies that offer to settle your debt with IRS but leave you in a worse positionSpear Phishing: Pretending to be the IRSCOVID-Related Fraud: Identify theftHigh-Net-Worth ActivitiesHigh-Earner Failure to File: taxpayers with over $100k in income that fail to file tax returnsMicro-captive Insurance Arrangements: Nonexistent insurance coverageOffshore Accounts and Digital Assets: Hiding incomeSyndicated Conservation Easements: Unwarranted and inflated tax deductionsAs always, if something seems too good to be true, it most likely is.

A buyer’s market where the current pricing trend requires 7+ months of inventory.You might expect the mortgage rate environment to reduce the number of owners listing their properties for sale.

Keeping up with the current market trends and learning difference REI strategies.

@Chris Seveney great point and that seems to be pretty much a nationwide trend from what I've seen.

I am thinking of starting with RTP region, North Carolina.Any inputs on the general trend in this region?

Lastly, connect with a rockstart team (Lender & Realtor) in the FL area you are trying to invest to get a better idea of trends & the right places to be.Sorry for the ranting of info, but if you have any questions please reach out!
