Ultimately, the best market for investing under $250k will depend on factors like your risk tolerance, investment goals, and personal preferences.

I read how easy it is for scam artist to file fake papers with the county court clerk in order to foreclosure on properties.

If you can't keep control of your personal finances, you are highly unlikely to succeed in real estate investing.

A lawsuit was filed by the city for delinquent property taxes.

You have to get the person face to face.Creative deals are negotiated. 

Is there a specific name for this person or could it be anyone in the bank? 

If you get a bad tenant, the rest of your tenants have to live with this person until you can successfully evict them.

It all depends, this is why I always review potential client's books what is the best course of action.I personally do not like QBO for real estate (I make it clear in all my posts lol) I just renewed my certification just because most people can't afford the PM software with accounting such as AppFolio and Yardi.
