Hi BiggerPockets Community,

I’m an investor based in Israel, currently expanding my portfolio into the Columbus, Ohio market. I have experience transacting in other U.S. markets and am now looking to apply that exp...

I’m a property data engineer in Atlanta and I spend a lot of time digging through municipal records and complaint activity.One thing that surprised me recently was how often squatter-related signals are showing up in city records tied to specific properties.When you start combining complaint activity, vacancy indicators, and certain types of incident patterns, you can sometimes see signals that suggest unauthorized occupancy before anything shows up in foreclosure or auction data.I pulled together a short report while analyzing the patterns and noticed that several hundred properties across the city are showing some type of squatter-related signal.Curious if anyone investing in Atlanta has run into this more often recently.

Agents see: • what actually sells vs what sits• which neighborhoods quietly appreciate• how pricing moves before the public data catches up• where distressed or transitional assets appear Most investors are trying to reverse-engineer those signals from the outside.

This includes architectural plans, engineering coordination, material sourcing, and construction management.One of the reasons I started the company is because there is significant demand in the Southeast for custom homes and barndominiums, especially with buyers moving into markets like Greenville, Charlotte, and throughout Tennessee.Currently our projects range anywhere from $350k–$900k depending on size and location.

You can buy thease porperties for 90% off from the countys.I typically get 2 to 3 houses that turn into tax deeds and then I turn them into rentals.I have done very well over the years and I no longer work as an Electrical Engineer and my wife quit her job as a manager at a local hospotal because the rental inco.e.from tax lien sales has dwarfed out w2 job income.I also own a good many of these houses in a Self-directed ROTH IRA which makes all the rental income from these houses tax free for forever. 

In an audit, is a 'DIY' software or a full engineering-based study considered mandatory?

Private mortgages are fundamentally a credit investment, so the goal should be steady, predictable returns driven by structure and discipline rather than leverage or financial engineering...by truly experienced people with long-time formal credit backgrounds.
