They're both just too far out of the city to get high demand from renters.

We want to buy a few hours away in Ocean City, Maryland, where we grew up vacationing.

Certain cities seems to lean to one or the other so we go with what the local norm is when we are trying to add value/appeal to local buyers or tenants.

I have equity in my property which is in Washington state, and I'm interested in finding an investor who would be interested in loaning me 20k to 30k in exchange for an agreed percentage rate when the house sells (within 10 years).

Hello,I am an out of state investor interested in memphis.

Did you create this account simply to bash them or what you stated are actual events? 

Assuming you are able to save this cash what is going to change in the next 2-3 months of not making payments that is going to put yourself in a much better financial state. 

I notice a few comments from out of state lenders/brokers that are referencing what seems like the property taxes and/or transfer taxes, not mortgage recording tax.In NYC transactions, property taxes are pro-rated and sellers + buyers pay for the portion they're responsible for (depending on the calendar schedule of the county + closing date). 

Search on google and your state and "white paper" on tax liens.   

I have a Series LLC registered with the state.
