In addition to having an inspirational story, Paul detailed his investing strategy which is a treasure trove of real-estate gold.

So best case scenario, any existing IRS lien should be clear 120 days after that - and worst case they would be cleared 120 days after the last weekend in June (Ada County auction) - or I guess 10 days after that since that is when you're supposed to actually get the tax deed (I think I saw that was the timeline in ID).4) State specific - FL the mortgage is wiped out and all liens (excluding municipality liens)That is my understanding here too... seems to make the process much less scary than I've heard it being discussed so I think that's what's making me second guess myself on a number of things.5) No they're giving you a "tax-deed" - see my recently purchased tax-deed below (it may look a bit different after the county officially enters it in their systems which happens around 10 days afterward in FL).That makes more sense to me, the thing that is causing me to second guess myself is the terms of sale I am looking at online for the auction: QUITCLAIM DEEDS • A Quitclaim Deed will be issued and recorded by the Ada County Treasurer. • The Quitclaim Deed will convey only such title as is vested in the County of Ada under the tax deed process according to Idaho law.A tax deed seems like it would be more ideal than a quitclaim deed, but maybe that's just their way of saying, "If someone sent a notification letter to the wrong address and we missed, you get to deal with it now, not us."  6) it depends on how your state does their tax-deeds if it has an online system you can literally see the mailings that have occurred and you'll know if the proper procedures were taken. 

We knew we would make a good chunk of money off selling our first home, therefore we wanted to put that profit towards upgrading some things on our new house (metal roof, hardy siding, etc.)

Get property tax amounts from the County Treasurer.4. 

I can build a house for $90 bucks a square, so an empty metal building i would guess would be in the $50 range at most.So whats the point of doing shipping containers over conventional storage building?

All units 2 bed, 1 bath, White Quartz counters, stainless appliances, in unit laundry, hard wood floors and metal accent walls make this a unique space to call home.

It was a swift and successful purchase with tenants in 5 days after putting it on the market and I also wanted to test my metal with regards to buying sight unseen (I only visited the house after having keys in hand).

When I was looking in 2012 the treasurer was auctioning 20,000 properties in one week. 99 percent weren't worth buying but I looked at so many..

He built them with low maintenance materials and just recently refurbished 1 of the duplex buildings with a new 40 year metal roof, new water heaters, refrigerators, dishwashers, stoves and AC units.The 2nd duplex still needs to be refurbished but is currently rented, so this gives the option of forced appreciation.

I think it would take me about two weeks of diligent searching to grasp a certain market - but I would need the help to discover recent sales, etc..It’s a treasure hunt; fun, exhilarating, and pure American Dream stuff.
