Know your game plan, your 5 yr plan and what you have at your disposal you can leverage that others might not.

Then, it's all about the game, winning a deal, making a tough loan, putting a deal together that stumped others or taking down a property that others tried to get for decades.

How do you find comps and analyze the property this early in the game?

@Nick Keesee and @Joe Fairless I appreciate the kind wishes in regard to the game this Saturday.

You also have to know the game.

However, I know a lot of people will want to see some skin in the game, so I am thinking of asking for 90% and I will put the other 10% into the project, likely $10k on this deal.

So far, they pay and we start the game all over again.

If they pay, I just don't show up but if they don't pay as agreed then I'm already ahead of the game.

But it is a numbers game, you will find some unique situations on occasion where somebody knows they will never pay the taxes and may want to unload the property well before any county action starts.Lots of laws to consider, so do not take my advice as anything more than a suggestion or two on actions to look into pursuing.Take a look at that webpage with the delinquent taxes and look at some of the commercial buildings in the over $5,000 range using "ALL" for tax years.

Don't play the game of the tenants getting into the whole story.
