Quote from @Collin Hays: About the time I've heard everything...a guest calls and says acorns falling from an oak tree have dented their car, and they want to be reimbursed damages by the homeowner. 

The other is in the low 500s but stated that this is due to a car accident totaling her car and is in litigation, so she is not paying on the loan. 

I’m evaluating a former car wash property in Metro Detroit:Just under 1 acre lot~4,000 sq ft building with multiple bays (9 ft clearance overhead doors)Zoned C4 “Multi Use Commercial”My concept is to convert it into multi-tenant flex space for auto-related businesses (detailing, tinting, wraps, light mods, etc.).I’d love to hear from anyone who has repurposed a car wash (or other single-use building) into something else.

Question 2- could I split the sale over two years to help?

Hello BP Community,We’re under contract to sell our primary home in Indiana, and I could really use some advice on tax strategies—specifically, a Deferred Sales Trust (DST).Here are the key details:Purchased in 2010 for $499KUnder contract to sell for $2.499M (closing scheduled for December 2, 2025)Current mortgage balance: $94KThis leaves us facing a sizable potential tax burden.From my research, a Deferred Sales Trust seems like the only option to mitigate the tax hit.

I'd look to work with a cpa to see what your basis in the property is including capital improvements and then put together an estimated sales price.

I haven't participated in foreclosure sales but my understanding is that the same issues with occupants apply.

I'm looking at properties coming up for sheriff sale that are tax lien foreclosure some questions I have are, Where do I look to make sure that is the only lien on the property or after buying it over the tax lien bid would the rest of liens or mortgage on the property get put on the past owner?

I am still looking into the sales representative as a viable option for a root to raise money as I get the business started.
