Clean Up and Clear OutA full landscaping renovation should always begin with a cleanup.

You must hold the property over one year from the deed transfer date to qualify for long-term capital gains treatment (lower tax rate).Even though you invested in the tax lien earlier, the IRS doesn’t consider your holding period to begin until you gain full ownership through a tax deed.

Before we go full in house, we are really trying to dial in the quoting process, specifically with putting material lists together.

You might get some sharper insight into the lending process, but you could also get that by partnering closely with a good broker or loan officer without taking on the full licensing burden.If you’re serious about scaling, it might be smarter to build strong relationships with multiple brokers, private lenders, or even consider setting up a fund or line of credit, rather than trying to straddle two hats (investor + licensed broker).
