Do you know of any situations where property taxes are increased exorbitantly to shake loose undeveloped property?  

You asked what are some daily things investors do which says to me you don't know what you are getting into yet.

There is a big difference and you don't sound like you know which one it is.

If you have any questions just let me know.

To succeed in hard money lending, know your local market well, value properties accurately, and carefully evaluate borrowers.

Wow, sometimes it's just who ya know!

The most popular way to speed up your real estate growth is to buy fixer-uppers, rehab them with mostly sweat equity, rent them out for significantly more than 1% of your total purchase price per month, and then refinance the property to extract as much money as possible for your next down payment.It’s doable, but you need to find the worst property on the nicest block, as this will play a significant role in your refinance discussions later.Let me know if you would like to chat more and learn about the Toledo market, which is well-suited for what you are looking to do.Best regards,Phillip DakhnovetsGuardian Property Management419-740-0370

It's not my personal favorite and I don't focus in 38127 for my own investing but I know the area and have helped my clients acquire some deals here and they seem to love the zip code!

Seminole for Example has a lot of great traffic and tons of spots to eat, drink, socialize for adults and kids.I know Cape Coral is picking up in terms of STR's with the complettion of the 7 Mile Island and more construction lately. 

An REO lender I've known over the years calls me on deals he knows I can purchase quickly.
