On the other hand, a "served by publication" heir could argue the guardian ad litem did not do their job well, the heir should not be foreclosed from claiming the tax sale was void, and they ALWAYS have 3 years after the tax deed date to assert their rights and cannot lose them simply because of a GAL who did not assert the correct defenses on behalf of the unknown or unfound heirs.

And if so, what are people's experiences with reliability in an STR, Google vs Alexa?

Just something to separate out people who aren't serious about it.

I'm planning to reach out to see if people are interested in investing equity in a condo to get it at a discount, maybe at construction cost. 

I hope to meet amazing people here!

They don't want people buying property and using a primary or second home mortgage when the use is investment or business - that's loan fraud and tax fraud at the same time.

If you have multiple people on the company, you ideally want the person with the highest credit score to have the most ownership percentages.
