We lived in it almost 2 years while working on it.

"Gentrification" made Tampa and the surrounding areas much better places to live.

Quote from @Avery Carl: I use the Mortgage Shop.

If it is somewhat habitable and you can live in it for a year, you can get primary residence financing. 

This is a big deal since we live in the same lot with my family and I’m renting out my ADU.  

I live here, invest here and help OOS investors invest here so hit me up if you ever need anything!

You become just another number and how they earn a living. i ran into this myself with paying for a cost segregation, needing a 3115 filed, going into escrow and having my former CPA quit on me 3/5 of this year.

I assume if you have a lien and it isn't redeemed, the previous owner could still be living there, correct?

That said I live in Birmingham and spend most of my time there so I think that is the best place to get started, but I would like to invest in some Huntsville Real Estate at some point.

Idk why they closed it down, I also heard from my friend that lives in Goldsboro that it is in a flood zone idk if the whole building is in the zone or partially in the zone.
