You can pick this up at Costco for almost nothing, but it means a lot to the people who are renting your place, and they will come back to you when they need another place to stay.

Thanks for the reply, Sarah... you've definitely given me a lot to think about!

No we weren't suspicious because people who you think would have a lot to lose stand behind these companies.

Thank you very much Renea Steward, I have a lot to learn here.

I suspect in RE investing and wholesaling ( well I know) 10 to 15% of those that try make 90% of the deals.Ever talk to a wholesaler that's an absolute idiot,, does not know what they are doing could care less about you or the seller  ( for sure it happens every day)Agents are no different.. this is a great industry and for those that can rise above and be professional in their work  do not get emotional about the deals they can and do do very well.For all those Investors out there that are small time players IE your buying a hand full or less of sub 100k homes and are ragging on agents well your just as clueless as those you call idiots.. your not really worth a lot to an agent and an agent only has time to sell so when I hear those say they fired 5 brokers and 4 fired them I say they need to look in the mirror  easy to rag on the agent what about the crappy buyer  LOL...

If you're serious about being in the business of real estate there is a lot to learn. 

This is the first thing I've seen in years that excites me as a potential business to get involved in.I agree I have a lot to learn and a lot of reading to do.

A lot to digest there, but I have to admire your well-constructed post.I don't have a plan.

A lot to learn here.

There you will deff be the owner of the property. 95% of liens get redeemed so your odds of hitting the jackpot on a lien are pretty slim.
