I knew that hilltop in general was a pretty desirable area right now, but then again, most literature and research usually doesn't even include anything less than 2bdr/1.5 bath so its encouraging to hear a response from someone local that has more experience with out market specifically. 

@Rhett Dean@AllThank you everyone for the encouragement!!

This is from the statute "197.432 Sale of tax certificates for unpaid taxes" See section (14):(13) The holder of a tax certificate may not directly, through an agent, or otherwise initiate contact with the owner of property upon which he or she holds a tax certificate to encourage or demand payment until 2 years after April 1 of the year of issuance of the tax certificate.(14) Any holder of a tax certificate who, prior to the date 2 years after April 1 of the year of issuance of the tax certificate, initiates, or whose agent initiates, contact with the property owner upon which he or she holds a certificate encouraging or demanding payment may be barred by the tax collector from bidding at a tax certificate sale.

There are some big mouths on BP and I would encourage everyone to vet vet vet as much as possible before doing deals with some folks on here.

Somewhat different from the others (not military and less encouraging about long distance investing). 

I've been encouraged by my boss and mentor to owner-occupy my first property, primarily to take advantage of lower rates and cut my own living expenses in the process. 

@Erica Osborn thank you for the encouragement!

The responses here have been positive and encouraging versus the normal "be careful because you'll get in trouble with the SEC for selling a security."

That's exactly what I'm encouraging folks to do now. 

I have a whole house but admittedly, I don’t encourage full weeks by offering a big discount.
