I've never gone through the process of having a tax sale annulled especially after improvements have been made to the land and the exact way it is handled will varies from state to state so your attorney can find out for sure how this impacts you if you were to go that right but it could be messy. 

It also seems that there is a severe lack of inventory in the Charleston area so waiting would seem to be to my advantage even without the constraints of my loan eligibility (or lack thereof). 

Inventories are CRAZY low right now and money is still cheap, now is probably the time to sell if you want to cash in.

This one just kind of end up going that direction naturally, but I'm interested in seeing your inventory in SE Michigan. 

The other item I wish I would have started improving earlier in my career was to get my personal finances under control.

The Assessor is required by law to assess all real property at current value, which is represented by the replacement cost of the improvement less depreciation and market value of the land.

I've made less business like decisions, and I sleep great at night, and have had my tenants greatly improve my financial position...that didn't come about by being a stickler for the contract.

You will need to improve your critical thinking skills if you want to last in this business.

Everyone I've seen breaks down land vs improvements in the taxed value. 

Once things began opening up, we saw that backlog burst open like a dam and create a demand much greater than the supply and here we are now.Record low inventory and an increasing population has led to a lot of the housing issues we're seeing in the valley today.
