I don't think it's ever wise to have all your eggs in one basket, but right now the owner financed basket is booming so about 95% of my portfolio is there.

In my experience, I found out that they had a criminal background, previous evictions, sex offender records, and generally they try to do a power play to establish control over the landlord/rent collector.

During the boom a few years back there were a lot of discount brokers offering reduced fees and sometimes sliding scale...

So the tax collector will have to reduce the minimum bid to get it sold at tax deed sale.

It has a bit of an oil boom going on from Casper WY all the way down through Greeley.

Did you ask the guy if your attorney could be the "collector" and proceed?

I was reading the paper today called the Booming Basin it sounds like this boom will be going on for a long time.

Use words like can and may or could, not will, shall, would.What I suggest is you not go there, you're not a collector, what you say can hurt you even if it's with the best intentions.He may have walked out thinking he knows how hard it might be to collect and doesn't care too.It's better to turn judgments over for collection, the cost od collection might be less than you'd settle for with him.A debtor has many tools in the box to use against a creditor, you can't just use logic or opinions in collections as they may take anything and use your collection efforts against you.

Not this specifically but I have had other clients that bought a bunch of apartments during the boom times which I wasn't a part of but they contacted me to sell.

Casper seems to be booming right now according to relatives who live there.
