@Mel Hayes and @Patrick Soukup,I just remembered that my friend Joe Kirkland, a closing attorney with CloseTrak in Memphis, wrote the following article early last year about appealing property taxes in Shelby Co. 

You can deduct all business expenses, including your travel to NV, with or without an LLC.Creating an LLC may provide you with legal protection, which is completely separate from taxes and should be discussed with an attorney.

However several attorneys have told me that these liens are phantom liens which are senior to a mortgage. 

I'm looking at a condo purchase where the legal owner is in some way incapacitated and her attorney is conducting the sale.

I also do contract for deed, low closing costs but I strongly suggest you close a CFD at an attorneys office (gives feeling of official and legal,,, which it is).Have a written contract for performance, quartlerly inspections and penalties if no work or poor quality.The summary is:  these rarely work out.
