That's not even counting any specialized education/etc (IE I'm an electrical engineer etc) - point being, someone with a reasonably keen mind and can use a tape measure, stay busy, and use various saws, is a carpenter.  

I've been listening to the podcast for a long time, but have only just decided to take the plunge and join the community.I'm a business graduate with a keen interest in real estate, and urban planning.

Hello @Vernon L Keene, welcome to the site!

I like single families in Derwood, in not so keen on condos in Derwood 

I set it to something that I thought very few people would pay unless they were really keen on living there.

Thanks for this thread @Stewart VanValkenburg, looks like I'm 4 years behind the cutting edge of Utah County tax sales but keen on observing/participating in this and future years. 

I also worry about making an exception to my criteria that I've used for others.....opens me up to some litigation in the future regarding fair housing that I'm not too keen on. 

Keen to connect as I have just moved to San Diego.

I'm humble enough to admit that like most things, I need help getting started from someone who is very keen to RE and has had a successful track record.

Hi @Vernon L Keene and welcome to BiggerPockets!
