Tax sales are a way for a SELLER to get rid of a property that they can't sell otherwise; like toxic waste sites, mold problem, hazardous material problem, environmental problem, failed septic, failed well, encroachment, title flaw/defect, IRS problem.

Welcome @John Blazi to the greatest site for investors on the planet!

What planet do these civilians live on who think they can out warrior our military?

I suppose if banks would assign loans all of this would be so much more easier and get these toxic/underwater assets off the the market faster.

If the seller falls of the planet and stops taking your calls, its probably because they found somebody who will pay more.

Probably the fact that the home is on the planet Earth! 

I always think I want to be doing something useful with my time on this planet so I rehab in older neighborhoods rather then build brand new.

I'd think anyone who ever bought a house would know that default is customarily at 30 days, why not make it appear that you're really from another planet and ask for a year before default?

Some feel it is too toxic, but if you sprinkle it where pets and kids can't get to it, like inside walls, the roaches don't become immune like they do to other pesticides.

Depending on how bored I get sitting on that couch all day ;)When I read those retirement articles about needing such and such amount of money in the stock market to retire I feel like I am living on a different planet as that is so far removed from my strategy.
