Also,  The fact that the sale price double from last year, does not necessarily mean that the taxes will double. 

Seller property had patio and Jacuzzi permit but during the sale process utility lines  was found and cause title issues.

Switch over to past sales, and there are a ton of sales... but most of them aren't at those price points, they're just those active properties pre-flip at 100-200K cheaper.

The sellers have stated that they would also make any repairs required by the lender to make the sale.

Looking at a property that’s a short sale and need to make an offer.

The IRS lien is for 6k plus the current tax bill and water bill puts everything owed right at about 33k..The owner knew there was some liens and wouldn’t be making much money In the deal however the liens are 3k more than her asking price.. so my question is am I able to purchase the house off of her via QCD for next to nothing (basically just to put a little money in her pocket) and then pay these liens just enough to avoid forclosure and then pay everything off with the proceeds of the sale when I turn around and sell a few months down the road.

I plan to hold the property for 5 years at the very least so I'm not opposed to making up-front investments that will help my return over time and of course improve my numbers to maximize a sale price when I decide to sell it.Any suggestions would be GREATLY appreciated!

How much time should I plan for after signing a P&S (purchase and sale) agreement to get an inspection, contractor walk through, and title check done?

However, though I like commercial real estate, people are saying I should start out with residential sales.

Some counties may only have tax sale info up on their site around the time of their tax sale.
