If you said that the property is in another state, then I'm assuming you may have to catch a flight, rent-a-car, food, etc....which will easily cost you more money than just hiring an inspector outright. 

thanks for that info. it is residential and yes i am much more interested in being a lender. in fact with our previous situation i was the mortgage note holder on his current rental. he refinanced me out of that. i did some other investments but am interested in helping him buy another rental. please explain further the 3 month seasoning of funds in his account. thanks again

I work a full-time job, a side gig as a food delivery driver, moderate for BiggerPockets, gym, family, friends, & etc, but I still self-manage my properties usually from my cell phone, lol!

Any subordinate lien could be wiped out in a matter of months once the senior lien holder becomes aware of the transfer.Sell the property. 

However, even though there is no redemption period after the sale, the owner (or a lien holder) has 1 year to initiate proceedings to challenge the validity or irregularity of the tax sale.I think if you want title, you are in your right to pursue that either with TTS or an attorney.   

In the event of a claim, the deed holder (you personally) and the business will both be brought in as claimnants.

On the issue of Airbnb laws in Colorado ...In every instance where a Colorado city or county had a permitting process for investment short-term rentals and then changed and passed an ordinance prohibiting non-owner occupied STRs, the existing STR permit-holders were grandfathered in. 

Its so much to talk about and thereś so many moving parts but this is some food for thougtht. 

Food to know.

i am looking into going into a trustee sale on deed of trust for $300,000 by evergreen "second lien holder" but after getting a title report i see there are a Subordination agreement between CTBC "first lien holder" and evergreen.
