I also want to meet Michael Quarles, so hopefully I can treat him to dinner or something at the very least, since I am the lucky winner of a contest he ran here on BP.

While I agree with your first paragraph and understand what you mean in the second, I do have to contest that I am being short sighted making a quick buck on this particular property.  

Some had reasonable increases which I was fine with but some, the nicer homes increased so much I have to contest them.

Any kind of giveaway, contest, etc that will help you capture your prospects / contacts information will be helpful.

Not only have those prices  doubled or more, the net caps were 40% ++   This is not a contest...

Just be aware...If the tenant decides to contest the charge and the matter ends up in front of a judge, you may be asked a couple of things:   - did you file a police report?  

It's best to show them that they have no where to go on contesting the charge - and that the charge is non-negotiable.Hope this helps...glad they're gone.

There is no proof so if they contested it - it’s your obligation to prove it needed to be done

Why do I feel like one of the 7 dwarves just walked up and challenged me to a slam-dunk contest? 

You may need to negotiate with him if you wish to purchase his right of redemption and his right to contest the sale-just make sure you get all of those who had equitable interest not necessarily just the former owner.
