Should I be concerned that there will be a surplus of empty homes in college towns in 15-20 years?

I have some tax liens which will have subsequent taxes coming due in May and I am wondering if there is a way to apply surplus (premium, overbid) over what the minimum bid was to the subsequent taxes so they will be paid without me having to put up anymore cash?

I would welcome selling my first home at a surplus as well, but this option is secondary.

Apply for overbid (surplus).

Counties can sometimes have additional sales for surplus properties that nobody has purchased in the past but be careful, there is probably a reason they weren't purchased.Information for Wake County Tax Deed auctions: http://www.wakegov.com/tax/realestate/foreclosures/pages/default.aspxInformation for Franklin County Tax Deed auctions: http://www.co.franklin.wa.us/treasurer/foreclosure_sales.htmlIt's best to start close to you.

On the market potential there - even though it's a stagnant mostly rural area, evidently there is a relative shortage of rental properties, and a relative surplus of folks who don't qualify for a mortgage or can't save for down payment.

Real Estate Investing has always been in the back of my mind but I was always waiting for surplus cash to get started.

I have 5% of my paycheck going into an investment account at fidelity and everytime I have XXX amount of surplus dollars after bills are paid I send this money to my fidelity investment account. 

How does you monthly surplus look with the mortgage payment on the new house?

However, if I was to make a $10,000.00 annual principal payment( that I will be saving from the $1,590 surplus) I could have this free and clear in 7.5 years.
