Broderick Campbell What is this list really saying?

hi broderick. sundai is correct. tax sales can be a great place to buy real estate, but the federal leins would still be in place. do your due dilegence. also, this list could be used in a different manner. you have names and addresses. go check out each and every one of these places. find the owners. buy right from the owner before the tax sale. some municipalities actually will let you make a payment arrangement on the back taxes. you find the owner, offer to buy the property for a little cash to them, and assume the back taxes. they do not have to know that you will then be paying those back taxes in a payment agreement with the local tax authority. all you are doing is assuming their obligation which gets them off the hook. you make the payments to your tax authority just like a house payment, and you own a house. you can do whatever you want with it along the way. he again, do your homework. make sure you are not buying someone elses heartache. there may be other leins on the property and you do not want those. i have personally bought 2 houses in this manner. good luck to you

sounds like you have permanent residence in the US - so you actually will be treated like an USAmerican by the Feds - you might want to know if you have any obligations to your home country on CG asn/or rental income, and all the local laws - but as a permanent resident you are not really the same as a true foreign investor, and you have a lot more flexibility but will also be taxed accordingly - so that would need to be clarified.

The leases, financing, rent increases, blended cap rate over the primary term of the lease, and exit strategies have to be thought out well in advance before purchasing.The exit strategy and targeted buyer would vary based on what purchase price you are talking about.If as a direct investor you are talking multi-million properties putting 25% down then you can land quality corporate backed leases.
