Here I am sure you know what I did and dealt with, almost all the rehabbing by hand, acquisition, valuation, record scrubbing, rental, management, essentially anything an investor can do is what I did.

Family says they will only keep 1 of the 5.Strange that all 5 homes are zoned on county records "Duplex".

Wish I'd kept better records.

Most of that information is public record.

When is the new title issued to new buyer and how long does it take to actually get recorded.

sounds like not a lot of time to work with.I would suggest checking the tax records and trying to find the current owner on the tax record or any heirs, to determine whether or not there might exist any rights of redemption that can be exercised to either halt the sale or utilize to purchase after the sale.

For comps I just ask one of my friendly local Realtors to lunch and ask her to bring all SALES (and pending sales) records for COMPARABLE neighborhoods, with the last 3 MONTHS.And in a declining market I discount the ones that are older than a month.all cash

They loaned me 100% because I have excellent credit, a track record of success, and because I bought these properties for pennies on the dollar.

Assessors and recorders have their own way of looking at the world (or, at least their county.)

My accountant is good at keeping records and making my books straight but she's not up to date on the details of tax code.
