Maybe you are not doing something correct if you find it is still as hard now as it was when you did your first deal.The biggest reason it is easier is something MikeOH talks about.

You are correct, big profits are made from big changes in the market, and certainly SFH's can be part of those big profits if done properly.

So, if the bank doesn't correct the tax deficiency by Monday morning and the property is sold for the back taxes, does the first mortgage that got foreclosed on still exist?

I thought the HUD1 was done at actual time of closing from the Title Company.Can someone explain the correct procedure and how it works?

I believe in buying under market and letting the market correct itself while someone else is paying my mortgage (renter).

If you do, people will tell you and you can correct the issue.

The easiest way to look at it is to trade equal or up in value and reinvest 100% of your cash equity, and the difference will be the correct amount of new debt to put on your like-kind replacement properties.

That seem to be reasonable and correct.
