Just thought I would take this opportunity to share with you some additional basics that I have learned within my short venture into investing with Tax Liens.My state (Alabama) currently has a 3 year redemption timeframe and pays approximately 12% per year.Ok, I assume you know the foundation on how to find listings and researching the properties etc.My discussion will begin with what happens after you purchase your Tax Liens.Firstly, be aware that most Tax Liens will be redeemed approximately 90% are repaid within the first year.Secondly, after the sale the previous owners are usually notified that their property has been sold and outline their rights of redeeming the Lien without additional consideration (aka cost paid to you the purchaser) if made normally within 10 days of notice.Thirdly, the annual percentage rate will only begin after you have held the Lien after 30 days; therefore you will receive only the original cost you paid on the Tax Lien; no more, no less.Lastly, you are not the homeowner just a Lien Holder therefore no keys, no access to the property, no look through so etc.  

I agree on the supply constraints and job growth. 

. $50 per bedroom, so a 4-bedroom house will cost you about $150~200consumables - bathroom supplies, kitchen supplies, beverage supplies: $20~30 per week, depending on how much you providewear and tear - towels, linen, kitchen utensils, some furniture: $1000~2000 per yearRepairs/replacement for things that guests break or steal:  $1000~2000 per yearAlso, if your personal use is less than 14 days a year, the entire property's expense is deductible against STR income, but if you use more than 14 days, then you will have to calculate the proportion of how many days it's rented out vs how many days you or your family uses. 

Hi! Closing on a condo next week. 2 bed 1.5 bath 1100 sqft. Curious to know what you would suggest for durability and longevity for a long term rental. Specifically flooring and tile options. I’ve never done remodelin...

I also provide small shampoo's and conditioners that I get in bulk from Amazon.It is hard to beat either for these kinds of supplies, even if you get a wholesaler to sell to you.

Basic apartment say 1 BR, we usually supply refrigerator and range, and nothing else. 

I will just cover some of the basics that I have learned.

Yes. build to rent in urban core adjacent neighborhoods. traditionally in our market in Columbus Ohio existing inventory was good 2014-2020. as prices rose, the cost to build started to match existing inventory prices because of supply shortage, especially for 2-4 multiunit dwellings. around that time we started to look at new construction and land. we found that land is a 12 month or more supply in our market which makes it a buyers market and you can design any structure you want in new construction. if you like a layout or floorplan all you have to do is design it. after that we looked at the right unit mix and Floorplans and layouts. we started looking at high rent per square foot layouts that were better than single family.

That's it, more units for the # of demand or less demand to better fit the supply. 

Here’s why selling your primary residence to your LLC and then renting it back isn’t a good idea from a tax perspective:Self-Dealing Doesn’t WorkFor tax purposes, a single-member LLC is considered the same as you, so paying rent to your own LLC is basically just paying yourself.
