Hi Bain, while i personally have never lived in Houston, I did join in on the efforts to help people get to safety after Hurricane Harvey, and to me, that one natural disaster would be enough to convince me to not move there for real estate investment.

I have some experience with rentals (20 Co-op's for my In laws) and I have a SF long term rental that has ran itself for 20 years.

What is your trick for finding what law firm has the property in trust or where the property is as far as the bank putting it up for auction or on MLS?

And when I did look this up, it wasn't a mortgage guideline I found, it was a federal law.Granted, Wells Fargo often has a hard time understanding that they can't just make up laws and do what they want all willy nilly like they run the world, which is exactly why they get fined all the time.

Anything else is just guessing.Since we don't know from your post which state the property is in, it is difficult to guess which laws apply.

Under former law, the redemption price tag was the full taxes plus interest amount, but that law was ruled unconstitutional for technical reasons.

However, the income is not taxedif federal law prohibits the state from taxing it.

Not only is it easy (if a bit tedious) but the new white sockets look amazing and have safety shutters which make them childproof. $150 at Lowe's did all the sockets and covers.In January 2018, with renovations nearly complete on the 3/2 side, our new tenants on the 2/2 informed us they were breaking their lease to move to Mexico to treat a family member's very aggressive cancer.

It’s got a bit of a rough history and I’m looking for a local agent that specializes in, or is at least very familiar with, local laws regarding foreclosures to make sure I go in with my eyes wide open.
