The county has to notify any mortgage companies of the pending tax sale and if they choose to do nothing then when the tax deed is issued the mortgage is wiped out.Pretty much the only liens that would be senior to a tax lien is a IRS or State income tax lien.All other liens are wiped out when the higher priority tax Deed is issued.I also have a good working relationship with my county officials.

Chris,There's nothing like experience when hiring a contractor.  

I've been in Real Estate since Oct 2009 when I purchased my first home as a rental shortly after getting out of the military (Air Force).  

West coast we are still able to get em done in 30 days start to finish but boy I have a hard time having that happen in other states.. especially attorney driven closing states were the buyer and seller each hire their own attorney.. boy who ever though that one up.. the amount of back and forth between the attornies and mistakes and delays just cracks me up. compared to our title company clsoings everyone using one escrow officer to handle the transaction.

BP did a podcast (early one, in the 30s i think) with James Vermilloin about Real Estate investing while he was in the Air Force.

I'm planning to hire a PM company, but I'm looking to have very tight control around who they bring in as tenants.

I did take a mold air sample test thing and just sent it off to lab today HELP

You can avoid probate with a "living" trust and still get stepped up basis, but remember attorneys don't know taxes so hire a good tax professional.
