I am interested in teeming up with someone that has some experience in buying properties at tax sales auctions in California 

East Tennessee home sales in August saw a healthy 2.1% increase over July, and a 7.4% increase over August 2024.The median sale price was $376,200 — up 3% from the previous year.Total housing inventory has increased 31.4% from the previous year.Half of the homes sold were under contract in 28 days or less, up from 20 days a year ago.39% of homes sold for the asking price or above, with 18.3% selling for more than the asking price. 7.9% sold for at least $10,000 over asking and 2.7% sold for at least $25,000 over asking price.5.5% of all homes sold in August sold for more than $1 million, a new high mark for the year.The sale-to-list price ratio lowered slightly to 98.6%, still up from 97.6% a year ago.New construction was 11.9% of total home sales.August sales saw a boost over July, outperforming the prior year and bringing the year-to-date total up by nearly 4%.

I'm curious how much the sales reps got paid for each investment made... 

.🏡 September Existing Home Sales Tick HigherExisting home closings rose 1.5% from August and 4.1% year-over-year, according to the National Association of REALTORS®.

In fact, we have missed numerous data readings since the Shut Down started, including:-Construction spending, Census Bureau-Initial good job list claims, Department of Labor-Factory Orders, Census Bureau-Non-farm payrolls, BLS-Trade balance, Bureau of Economic Research-Initial job was claims, Department of Labor-Wholesale trade, Census Bureau-Federal budget balance, Treasury Department-Consumer price index, BLS-Real average earnings, BLS-Retail sales, Census Bureau-Producer price index, BLS-Initial job was claims, Department of Labor-Business inventories, Census Bureau-Housing starts and building permits, Census Bureau-US foreign net transactions, Treasury DepartmentThe longer this Shut Down continues, the more fog accumulates on the Fed’s front windshield.Fed Chair Jerome Powell is well aware.

However you may be able to contribute to retirement accounts and slightly mitigate the tax impact from a sale. 

You will probably maximize the sales price this way too as house hackers have lower down payment options than non-owner occupied investors. 

Thanks in advance.Any advice needs to know whether or not the loans have been personally guaranteed and if so you’re ability to cover any shortfall in sales price, and finally if your other assets are exposed to loss in event of a judgement or whether they are “asset protected”.

Several recent transactions have had appraisals come in significantly HIGHER than their sales price including: two jumbo transactions and my own personal summer purchase.
