Then a call is scheduled with United Tax Liens for two hours.

2 years of tax returns ? 

Moving utilities and finding a space for washer/dryer is the annoying part but doable due to size of the units.

Buying a property for your mom that you have to put money into each month even after the mortgage is paid off (taxes, insurance, maintenance) will only work if you have significant appreciation to offset that, which is what you probably experienced in California (and I experienced in Canada). 

Q4) How would the parents' ROI (interest pmt received) be taxed?

**Uncertain Future Costs:** Final costs, including maintenance fees and property taxes, may be higher than initially projected.

Property tax around 200/month and Insurance 130/month.Based on a Heloc at 182,000 when all is done my plan would be to do a cash out refi to pay this down/off and use remaining cash flow + W2 income to pay the rest off.

HMM all due respect, not cool to the seller.

I would say to be cautious of areas NE of Reid St due to rougher neighborhoods or more rural parts such as SW of Silver Lake Dr.

We also have a general construction company that is taxed as an S-corp.
