My research indicates that it's a very straightforward (albeit not always fruitful) process, that doesn't require a judgment enforcement agency if I follow the county's seizure procedures and am willing to pay the upfront costs (probably $500 for court & sherriff's fees).

I would not put my eggs in the short term "basket".

It's where you live, the low hanging fruit... ;-)I also like Tim's idea of volume.# of times you mail to each?

For latecomers, it is very quick, fun, and cost effective to go door to door with a small cooler handing out ice cream or fruit bars.

I understand the issues of police powers, on the other hand there is an issue with restricting the ability of earning the fruits of the property and taking the use without compensation.

The master has the power to punish the producers by taking the fruits of their labor so the master can give it to its slaves and keep them content with the drug of choice...entitlements.

I understand the "Idea" of spreading 100k between 5 houses, so all my eggs are not in one basket.

Yes, we have a farm with all kinds of fruit trees and shrubs (apples, pears, cherries, blueberries, raspberries, blackberries, figs), vegetables, goats, chickens, cows and a couple horses.

The fruit comes in the final sale though, so it may be that this isn't the best scenario for you.

You certainly don't want all your eggs in one basket, so you might say use 20K initially, that means your deal needs to be under 100K.
