I'm glad that you think that "I'm on the right track" with regard to bending on terms in order to maximize sale price. 

Welcome from West Bend!

Welcome to BP. it's a great place to put and end to your restless nights :)My $0.02 is that there is no single supreme rule, it's rather a harmony of rules that we all bend and adjust to make an overall "music to my ears".

I am looking at purchasing tax liens in Harris/ Fort Bend County and wanted to get a bit of information.

I know there are many companies/attorneys who have no problem getting people who are not delinquent on their loans amazing short sale offers, I just have not found it to be that easy in my practice.I've found the longer the delinquency the easier it is to get the bank to bend.

Why I'd want togo back there and visit I don't know, but I do miss the area, Toldedo Bend and the Sabine as well as Lake Charles, that's a fun little town.
