Actually, I don't see much of anything going on here except that the OP (original poster) is looking for guidance on how to monetize what he (Michael DuVentre) sees as opportunities.First off, you need to know what you are looking for.

3) What would be required to monetize those interests?

Since you call yourself a wholesaler you already know that, in order to monetize for a profit, you'll need to know what you can sell it for in order to know what you can pay for it.

You do want to monetize this opportunity, don't you?

I'm a buy and hold kind of gal, with a goal of $5,000/mo net rental income.

Your appreciation is zero benefit to you until you start to monetize it (via a sale or higher rents, eg cash flow).

At that point, the cert holder gets title, but many of these left over parcels are slivers and portions of land that you can not monetize.

Also since I borrowed that closing cost money from a HELOC (or maybe a 0% CCard, hard to remember since I was "monetizing" my good credit like it was a job at the time:) ), it was actually a no money down deal.

Finding other ways to monetize those leads is the key.

Once you figure out this number, you might be a little more inclined to monetize every lead that comes in.
