Welcome,  you are in good hands here on BP its a great site with tons of info

There seems to be no way to search all evictions either current or past.I also don't want to search their site against my Listsource of 60k+ absentee owners.

The situations where land and/or vacant buildings were owned prior to 2018 are usually the most complicated and typically involve the a little more tax risk application of the OZ rules.

This prevents depreciation recapture among many other things that may complicate your tax return.Hope this helps!

Ade note: when things start getting this complicated, I tend to think they aren't worth it

It's not really that complicated to buy out of state.

As a matter of fact Bigger Pockets (the social media site you & I are currently on) happens to be one of the best social media sites in regards to driving traffic to your website.

@Elvis Vasquez Yes City of North Miami is a smaller municipality  and the building department can be complicated from my experience working with them and past clients also trying to get projects completed.

I am new to this site and new to investing!

I notice a decent amount of people on this site swim naked.
