I have not been able to find a lender with a true “no closing cost” all I have found is they roll it back in.

@Colin WestIt's always best to stay true to your area.

Now I do what I want when I want.STR'S are a little more work but can be more fun if you have a true vacation rental and just not some airbnb downtown where you would never vacation there for  week with your family.

To get the true taxes go to the assessors site of the county it is listed.

I am not sure if this is the case of “too good to be true” and still it was vacant for 2 months although the seller did not lower the price.

Great responses so far . . . . another saying that definitely holds true in real estate is that EVERY property has a price that makes it a good deal. 

That's because there are no tax consequences to the grantor until the option lapses or is exercised.If the option lapses (that is, the holder chooses not to buy the real estate), the grantor has income equal to the amount paid to him or her for the option.If the option is exercised by the holder (that is, the holder buys the real estate), the sale proceeds for purposes of determining the grantor's gain or loss on the sale of the real property includes the amount the grantor received for the option.The grantor's tax deferral can only be achieved if the agreement is a true option. 

This has echoed true thus far with no change in new listings for the month of October despite a growth of population and housing inventory from the preceding year.

True :)

I have tried many other things, but those tried and true methods will make the phone ring.
