I have owned one single family home for about a year, which I bought with owner financing from a man who owned it as a rental, and I am currently negotiating on a four plex with the same seller. 

I bought a tax lien property earlier this year from someone who purchased a house at an auction.

Even though prices are flatlining, property is still being bought up fast.With the help from renting out other units, the price of the mortgage could be cheaper than renting.The property I'm interested in may not be there anymore.I'm interested in a property in North Beacon Hill.

So I bought this property 6 years ago and had only one tenant.

How much are you paying for on average for taxes when you bought your properties?

@Kevin WilliamsIt's a rare day to buy a home at auction with equity.If that was the case, someone would have bought before it was foreclosed on.Only time it happens is when someone loses due to unpaid taxes and never bothered to read the warning notices in the mail.

I bought a house before I knew about Bigger Pockets and wasn't considering renting it.

Have you already priced out the granite at the big box stores?
