No need for you to try to side track the discussion or call in others when you can't make your point.  

I would recommend focus on what you are doing now (flips), don't get sidetracked with tax liens, and when you have made enough money to lose then look at cash flow properties and tax lien certificates.

I did find another post on this topic since posting, but it is mostly sidetracked by a discussion of whether one should get a real estate agent license.

@Alan Casilla sorry, don't want to sidetrack your original post. 

Remember don't get side tracked by lenders ...

Sorry to sidetrack the thread by the way!

Let's leave it at that.I don't want to sidetrack from my morals and standards.

Showing properties as a realtor will side track you and CONSUME YOU!!!!!!

It's really important to understand lending or loan terms and not get side tracked with other financial jargon from other types of investments such as bonds as while they may be similar they can have different effects depending on which side of the fence you're sitting on, the lender or the borrower.

Scott W.Not to sidetrack to a stock market discussion, sure if you go back 80 years the number is correct.
