As such, redemption periods are not the same in all states.

@Jerry Kisasonak I've only heard via these types of boards that there where unscrupulous investors who by slopiness or on purpose made a business of putting unqualified buyers into a lease-option and then after the option period and they couldn't get a mortgage putting them out keeping the option fee, then repeat.

Any unlisted properties may still be in the redemption period and thus cannot be marketed yet.

Look to on the after tax basis and the expected holding period with depreciation. :)

Get an option period to find a buyer, and then contractually limit your liability.

There are now holding periods, 90 days I believe, from the date of the last refi in conventional loans.

Hello Robbie.I also ran into this issue myself in researching potential properties to purchase.I believe Mark not only makes an incredibly strong point, but in my recent research on Fannie/Freddie and anything to do with HUD Foreclosures, there is definitely a 15 day waiting period.

Mostly thinking parking issues, people coming and going.One other time I had an applicant who is a massage therapist, again client visitations at home, I declined, because she can't provide income verification, so its either an all cash business and she isn't paying uncle Sam, also she wasn't licensed with the department of professional regulations so I was wondering if these massages are legit or she might provide other offerings that are questionable.Bottom line, do you guys prohibit business being conducted at your rental properties period, or is it a subjective rule based on how frequent or if it creates any inconvenience such as added traffic or parking situations to the building?

The year period is because you want to use a new appraisal.Even that doesn't work very well if you buy a property in good condition and rent it.

However my concern is that three of these tax liens were issued in 2008 and the other three in 2010, so the redemption periods (2 years for Florida) have been exceeded.
