New to the forum and the note investing world..I'm looking into building my excel template for analyzing IRRs of performing (1'st lien) note investments Can you please elaborate on the costs associated with buying the note, maintaining it through its life time and eventually when deciding to sell the note or when the mortgagor refinances or pays of the debt?

Who died, went to a nursing home, got a promotion, lost a job, who wants to retire, is getting married, is having a baby, new to the area, lost a law suit, going bankrupt,  had a vehicle repo, has a code violation, does a contractor have a lien on any property, any child support liens, you get the picture.

You will have first lien position on the property.

Hi all,Just had some questions for the tax lien experts that have been around the block.

We go to closing and Ned buys the property through the LLC, his title interests are protected by the Operating Agreement and lien he has on the asset of the LLC, this is internal to the LLC.

Recommendations would fair best.A credit partner (that would put a lien on your property) might work, just a thought.

Back in the old days we did one like this.A young  investor who was renting commercial space from wanted our help to buy several properties at a tax lien auction.

First, I would assess what your goals are(e.g. reduce your outstanding debts or leverage to acquire more investment property), and plan accordingly. 

How do you go about finding any other liens on the property before auction do you do that with a title company?

Otherwise, doc stamps are 0.7% of the sales price, title insurance 0.55%, plus $4-600 in settlement fee, title/city lien search, recording, misc. fees.Doc stamps, title insurance and estoppel fees are typically the seller's expense (in Broward typically the buyer pays title insurance).
