THEN when I was selling it  4 months later, we discovered that they did not pay all the taxes.

You can also add in tax sales and REO's to get some good deals.

However be mindful of the tax consequences.  

Hold makes so much more sense to me -- tax benefits, paying down mortgage, long term investments, etc.

High jobs growth and lower than average cost of living, low property prices and some of the lowest property tax rates in the country.

The combs you state are a bit inconsistent so it will take time to sell and don't forget to take 30% off your profit to Uncle Sam aka Tax devil unless you do a 1031 exchange which time is also a factor on that.

It came down to, do I overpay for a property by $40k, or eat the $30k in taxes.  

Do you go by the tax assessment that may not be fully accurate or do you compare it with other land like you do with comps?

I would be willing to help with any bookkeeping, financial statement preparation and general tax advice.
