Do you have a blog where you'll update your progress?

So my transition is still in progress from rentals to tax liens.

You may need both depending on your risk assessment.

In that case we don't have the same issues as we do in funding a cash loan taking collateral.From a risk standpoint that a lender will assess, a seller has been the owner of the property, they are aware of ownership issues, they may receive the property and there is no obligation, unless unique by state law, to resell the collateral and pay the debt outstanding as there is with a cash loan by a lender.

I suppose that is more a function of risk assessment.

If the borrower does not pay the debt service before the grace period expires, customary late fees will be assessed.

You can get information such as property records, property characteristics, comparable sales data, tax assessments and more from tax assessors and county recorders offices across the nation.  

My county tax assessment lists the same value that's on Redfin.

Looking forward to hearing more about your progress!

I think that I would eventually move into this unit within 4-6 yrs, for a summer home.Other than appliances, hvac and special assessments, what should My concerns be?
