property taxes?

These markets are unlikely to see homeowner demand being diverted to rentals for economic reasons, given the tax advantage of ownership and the potential for equity gains.

The hard thing with commerce is the property taxes are higher and some areas aren't that great.

Getting the COC% to meet that pref has become increasingly difficult with interest rates, rising insurance and taxes.

(Lower rates, higher rents, and apprciation.) until then you get loan pay down and tax advantages to go wi the lower prices. 

You cannot get a business loan or line without net income on IRS taxes.

You can sell both units to one buyer, but that buyer now has two properties, with separate tax bills, etc.  

The reason goes back to RE investing 101 - you make money on equity, deleveraging, apreciation and tax shelter - cash flow is actually the smallest, while still absolutly vital to keep your biz alive. 

I'm a new investor looking to get into the world of tax lien and tax deed investing in Maryland.

It is my understanding that they use your tax returns to verify your income.
