Information I received from the tax office today:"The leftover tax lien list (assignment) is available the end of June at:Cashiers Office (in person)200 Holliday StBaltimore, Md. 21202The cost is $10.00.For mail please send Money Order with self- addressed envelope."  

This would also assume you can self manage since you mentioned you'd like get into the work side of things too...

I charge a flat fee to market the property, screen applications, get the tenant under contract, and collect the first/last/deposit.

I have no problem providing the underlying beneficiary SSN because the application has a specific entry for the EIN.I don't even want to begin to imagine how someone would open a bank account with Wells for an LLC wholly owned by another entity. 

(Not applicable to you)It generally ends two years after the close of the tax year any gain is realized( not recognized). 

Im starting too and feel very lost just because i dont have who to work with, im re searching studying and connecting dots lil by lil my self, but is not complicated, but a patient game, first secure a buyer list, make one, go out to meetings, groups and meet Realestate investors even online call them ask them of they requirements, they needs,  what they exactly looking for and then match them with the houses.

When I wanted to setup an LLC for my self-directed IRA for instance I used KKOS lawyers from the west coast because it's something they specialize in.I don't think you necessarily need to be local with those professionals unless you really want a face-to-face relationship. 90% of whatever you need will happen over phone or email anyway even if they're in town.

Instead, the full amount of the property tax is calculated at the applicable rate, then the amount of that tax attributed to the school tax is subtracted from the final property tax bill for owner occupants. 

So I have a townhouse that just went vacant due to the tenant buying her own home in the same community and we have a few applications in in less than a month for new tenants.

If you buy a minimum of about 30 apartment units you can afford a Property Management Company and save your self the daily operations and maintenance which s typically what you want with a W-2 job.
