Hi everyone,I'm just reaching out to see if there are any TN real estate professionals that know the length of time a property can be delinquent on taxes before the state steps in to begin the foreclosure process.  

I have been on the hunt for finding REO or pre-foreclosure properties.  

Since I ended up putting so little down on my primary and have savings left over, last week I was pre-approved for 25% down on a duplex out of state at 4.75%. 

However, I have a comfortable allocation of secured funds for investing and there other reasons I believe I'd qualify for other loan options.My question is, how do I see about getting additional pre-qualifications on identified properties/home values without lenders pulling my credit?

I've been selling commercial full time for almost a year and am struggling getting off the ground - I am building a solid database (from 0) of industry professionals (buyers/sellers/brokers/wholesalers etc), doing lead gen daily, and finding quite a few pocket listings.

REI brings a lot of my skills into play: building construction and maintenance, dealing with people.

Will I have to use licensed contractors or will I be able to do any work myself (a skilled relative)?

Do I need to tale to a professional that handles 1031 exchange before listing property for sale?

Otherwise he can give notice to the tenants but personally I would not want the current owner getting a lease in place now and you don't own it so you can't lease it pre-closing.

You need to buy in the right year, use patience and negotiating skills to buy it right!
