Bonding of lien is easy, confirmed with bond companies, 1.5 times the claim (52k), it doesn't require permission of solar company at all, builders do it all the time, and then fight the claim with solar company in court is an option.

I'm interested in investing in Idaho, but I have zero experience with Idaho taxes (or state income tax at all for that matter).Questions:I've heard that property taxes in Idaho are higher for out of state owners vs. residents (i.e. a house could cost $2K in annual taxes for a resident, but may be $3K for an out-of-state owner).

To find competitive pricing, look into the rental prices of nearby multifamily properties that are comparable to yours.Take into account all of the running costs, such as insurance, maintenance, taxes on the property, utilities (if not individually metered), and, if necessary, property management fees.Take into account the principle and interest payments associated with your mortgage.

I called the city to see if they would be willing to lower the property taxes or do anything to help with the fact that parking is so limited.

A lot of markets in the Midwest offer lower prices, cheaper taxes and are landlord friendly as well.

I would reach out to other investors and investor agents where they claim to do business (and where you'd like to do business with them) and see if they're familiar with this company.

Can I write off my real estate education costs on my taxes?   

Propstream allows you to pull niche lists of homeowners that are tax delinquent, failed listings, high equity, or even in preforeclosure.

My question is based on the following:lets say you put down 20% on 300K property which is 60k (plus closing costs ) and you are breaking even with you mortgage + other expenses(taxes ,management fees,...) included.

I would also consider taxes into your situation.
