Hello.
My name is Yatyr Moreira Cesar (yes, it is a different name) I am an attorney at law in Brazil and I am going to invest some money in Central Florida, at first, my target will be Orlando.
I am doing my homework and will study for some time, that's how I found your forum. I am reading some materials and listening to some podecast.
I do have a lot of questions related to tax, so, if anyone could point me to some basic instruction (forum topics or podcast), that would be great.
Learning about tax is a great first move seeing you're a foreign investor. Eric Odum did a podcast a while back on foreign investors if I remember correctly it was focused on Canada but it might be a good start for you. His podcast is called InvestFlorida.

not sure about tax sales .. i haven't had any experience with those but i do have experience with flips and construction , figuring out whether a deal is a good, great or a pass and on to the next one .. i work with a few investors who supply the funds for the flip projects and i run the project ..the property goes into their names during the process and we have a contract between us for each project ..they have the right to veto any decision i make concering the project because it is their money after all .. but fir he most part they sit back and allow me to do what it us i do .. in return we split profits .... im explaining this because maybe that's what you need .. a boots on the ground type of person .. somebody who has your best interest in mind , someone who can look at the properties that the note is on to make sure its not a beat up mess .. Im pretty sure some will nit be accessible on the inside and some may even be occupied but buying a piece of paper is a lot scarier unless you can actually know what that paper represents .. but , like i said in the beginning..i dont know much about the note business and i may be completely wrong in my assumption that you should at least see / or have someone look at the property that they represent .. i wish you plenty of great deals and lots of luck.
