Crud, that goes on a different site.

I’ve been trying to analyze listings on the usual sites and what I receive from a real estate agent.

@Tiana O., Good questions.Rental income are not subject to SE taxes to begin with. 

What I find is that the banks just want too much money for houses that need too much rehab.Is there some way other investors are getting access to properties that aren't on the MLS, or these common sites I mentioned? 

If you want to do it on your own you will need to use those sorts of sites.

BiggerPockets is a great site to get started learning about real estate investing.

It seems like a decent prospect for appreciation and cashflow since it's situated between JHU and Penn Station and is the site of a fairly substantial development project (Telesis), but I understand the strength of the deal will be determined by what price and condition I acquire the property at. 

And even if the claim were paid, the loss ultimately falls on the responsible party like so: the title insurer tells the closing attorney "you screwed up" ... closing attorney's E&O covers the claim ... then they turn around and collect from the seller/lender because the contract says taxes will be paid and prorated as of the settlement date.Of course, I'm no VT attorney and this isn't legal advice.

In our discussion he is ready to sell that house and then he tells me he has 25 properties (I had already seen that on the Tax Assessors site) and he said he would like to sell all of the properties.

On 7/16/2018 officers visited the home to serve outstanding warrants on drug trafficking charges on the tenant which turned into officers getting a search warrant of the property.
