@Garth Collins  So there are at least two lien issues?  

I'm a former RE Agent in the Bay Area & yes, the prices are ridiculous there....so how/where did you find them, etc etc etcThanks,Joan Phillippi

If it weren't so darned far away for me to self manage, I'd start looking at Pueblo or Grand Junction, because the entire front range from Colorado Springs to Fort Collins is nuts.  

Hi Joan, As I am still in the 'education' phase of my real estate investing venture, I'm trying to research my local area in order to find the best areas to invest.
