Now you have the liquidity for your 390k duplex and it will not deplete you and you will always be in the game.One of the keys to winning the game is to always be in the game.

I can also save some more money if needed, reason I do not have as much saved is because I am in the middle of a BS lawsuit and I have spent six figure on lawyers but case should be over soon and I am hoping I win as the other party basically have given up.

Without a few base hits you won't catch the investing bug and win long term. 

Win-Win.

(You don’t win and the tenant loses if they don’t use all the electricity.)Ps.

If after appropriate investigation, it appears to such officer that the proceeds from the sale of the property would be insufficient to wholly or partly satisfy the lien of the United States, or that the claim of the United States has been satisfied or by lapse of time or otherwise has become unenforceable, such officer may issue a certificate releasing the property from such lien"Locate the "officer charged with the administration of the laws in respect of which the lien of the United States arises" from the lien (a sample is provided here for the property I was researching - Assistant US Attorney Erin Secord) and contact him/her in advance to find out what information they would require from you if you win the bid.

Instant flag.If it’s below 90%, then without a very good story, you know something is wrong.Best in class will have 95% current occupancy.

I'm just trying to make sure you'd be likely to win the eviction if you had to do that. 

I thought my bid would be 2007-2008 taxes only, and the additional years would be the price of winning. 

That was a small win.
