After the tax deed is attained, there may be a foreclosure or barment, then you typically need to quiet the title.   

I came to BiggerPockets so I could be successful in real estate and I believe that this outstanding and supportive community can help attain that!

The attractiveness of the Midwest REI landscape is that price per asset is more attainable for a lot of investors to participate in.  

Not to get off the subject but there is a difference between someone with only two years experience in selling real estate (2 years X 2 years work experience) and one with 20 years in the business with one year selling experience. (20 years X 1 year work experience - A 20 year card carrying member).It's not how long one has been wearing the hat, but what work (acquired knowledge, experience) has been attained while wearing the hat.

None have chosen markets in the west coast, though, because cash flow is harder to attain there.

The humor keeps the business and one's goals fun and seemingly more attainable. 

My question is how does one attain wealth and acquire many properties if this is so?

I have very attainable goals this year but the focus is not to let talking about doing things get in my the way of actually doing them. 2014 was great because I acted in REI for the first but there was a decade of talking prior to that.

Also due to the capital I have it is more attainable to start out that way as opposed to California.

12% + is definitely attainable on multi families - say 2 - 4 family properties.
