It may play out well for you, but the details are tricky, and the adjustment procedure is complicated.

I also really like the 28212 zip code for more of a long-term play on appreciation, with the proposed light rail line hopefully coming in the next 10 or so years.

A caution- At this price point expect it to be a cash flow play, not an appreciation play. 

See how the strategies played out until today.

I don't like the games being played at my expense here. 

Perhaps there is one, but until that can be provided as justification for their decision it doesn't seem proper for USPS to be playing 'detective' telling people they can't hang a mailbox when there is a physical address on record with the county.Has anyone run into this too?

That's more of what I was speaking to, not for him to go out and put it all together on the fly himself, but the honesty of it is some people do not have Cali or Florida Money, they don't have NY or Mass money but that's where they live, that doesn't mean you can't play the game.  

I've been playing around with that idea for some time.

Have you seen this play out where you or someone you know purchased an auction property with a DoJ lien on it?

.- The MTR strategy is great and you have the advantage of listing it with multiple different platforms.  3/2 will attract a certain type of of MTR client, one that travels with families most likley or displaced families, so your pool of applicants may be a little limited- If the long term play is appreciation, than breaking even sounds good.
