Property tax question

I am a Florida renter of 7 years and my neighbor who ‘owned’ her home next to me died four months ago. I called the police for a welfare check at the end of July and never heard anything back. Turns out she had already died back in May.

So now the county just contracted a mowing company to mow her overgrown yard.. Now I’m wondering what will happen to the house. It would be a beautiful little home for my wife and I and I was wondering if there was any kind of ‘insider’ way of going about purchasing it. I would be a first time homebuyer.

I dont know the true status of the payments of the home but I know that she didn’t have any family members and was frankly a very rude woman. I imagine that her accounts are now four months behind as she didn’t have family to take over those affairs. Does anyone here know what the logical next steps are? I heard something from a family member about paying the property taxes on it but Im so clueless about this stuff. This maybe isn’t even the correct sub for this question?

Any help would be massively appreciated and could potentially change my family’s life.

Aren't comps/CMAs useless with buyer credits at close happening now?

I'm looking into buying a new construction townhouse in my HCOL US city. I'm seeing builders offering interest rate buydowns worth $20k-$60k on $800k homes (rather than just lowering prices) in order to keep their comps high for their other units, now that buyer demand has been declining. I asked my agent about these, and he said these buydowns aren't even the full story: buyers can write all kinds of other credits into an offer, like their closing costs, prepaid sewer fees, etc. Apparently cash buyers can just write in a "buyer credit at close" for any amount in their offer. So a new townhouse that appeared to sell for $800k in the MLS might have actually been a cash offer with a $100k+ buyer credit at close, meaning the buyer only spent $700k or less in total, but to the rest of the world they can only see the $800k! So that made me realize I can't trust comps/CMAs for other new construction townhouses. The sales prices could be way lower than they appear...

Advice? Moved out of my primary residence and now renting

I moved out of the house I own in August 2021, I lived there for 8 years, I have been renting an apartment the past 3 years and renting out my house. My current tenant is moving out in September. I seem to have just missed the living 2 years out of 5 years rule for being exempt from capital gains tax and my house being a primary home. Any advice on what the best thing to do would be moving forward? Continue to rent out my house? I'm happy with my rental, but wouldn't mind buying another property down the road. I could sell my house down the road and try to do a 1031 exchange? Moving back in my house isn't ideal because it's an hour away from where I currently live. I could take a HELOC perhaps and try to buy another property and continue renting for the long term? I do have a 2.4% mortgage rate on the house so I don't mind keeping it for a while. Thanks for everyone's advice. submitted by /u/Ok-Top-7859 [link] [comments] source https://www.reddit.co...

Do I need a license to remodel houses/properties in California?

I've searched online for an answer but nothing is clear. Do I need a license to remodel properties in California? Some sources say I need a contractors license, but I don't see why I would if I would be hiring contractors. Also, if you have any resources or know of any mentors who teach the business side of real estate, I would love some direction. I have no experience in real estate investment yet, but I'm looking to eventually become a developer. submitted by /u/reddit_PART2 [link] [comments] source https://www.reddit.com/r/RealEstate/comments/1f4p74y/do_i_need_a_license_to_remodel_housesproperties/
