Article 3 is about possession, and all the details and issues related to possession, which is clearly granted as soon as the tax certificate is issued.I think the confusion comes because of 40-10-82 and the short statute of limitations, which addresses only the judicial redemption time period.

I will give you some of my highlights.People in Texas complain about their property taxes at 3% ours are about 4.5%.New York in general and Monroe county specifically are very tenant friendly.Depending  on the town, the code inspectors/police can be quite anal.Since Covid and the 2020 protests we’ve seen an increase in crime in the city and therefore weakening demand in the city proper and increasing demand for the suburbs.Industry is well diversified—University of Rochester (medicine) L3Harris (defense) xerox (IT) and paychex (software/hr)) and relatively recession proof.Population growth is low and therefore appreciation (except the past 4 years) has been moderate as well.There aren’t many builders in the area so supply is relatively fixed.Home (and rent) prices are both affordable with homes typically being less than 1/3 median household income and rent being similarly affordable.For single family homes at 8% rent will cover piti with about 100$ to spare in the A areas.

Do your homework, crunch the numbers on potential profits, and seek advice from experts like real estate agents, property managers, and financial consultants to make smart choices.Good luck!

If you decide to go that route, hire an experienced management company and underwrite very conservatively otherwise you could get ruined by high maintenance & turnover costs and potentially evictions.

@Brittany Smith I generally prefer hiring out property management to get the property rented.
