When you find a pretty solid SFR Buy n Hold investment property is reasonable to just look at the Cash on Cash return or should the market purchase price be a significant factor?

The hold up really isn't at the title work itself.

The reason you flip first is it's a faster way to building cash on a continuous basis that you will use to buy holds.  

I am an active buy and hold investor in Geogia    I have 8 SFH long term rentals in the north east suburbs of Atlanta   I am currently looking to diversify into either another area of the country (probably Tampa, Fl) or perhaps to pick up a few beach (PCB) and lake (Chattuge, Hartwell) short term rentals to attach to a different market   I would like to connect with others in any of those areas to build a better network    I look forward to the discussions.  

@Stephen Craig I noticed on your profile that you hold a real estate license in Hawaii!

I am holding a tax deed on a property in Alabama that ATT is interested in for a cell tower.  

How long could you hold a tax lien certificate for before the tax lien holder receives the property?

Looking for recommendation for CPA w REI experience (I do fairly simple REI stuff: buy/holds and flips). thx Dave

What does work great here is buy and hold.

So Cal not only would have been the superior investment for financed buy n hold but it would not even be close compared to the average locale.
