The potential of a pyrrhic victory?

@Victoria L.

@James Smith congrats with your "victory." 

Often anyone who fails to pay their taxes has also failed to pay other people in a way that results in property liens.Physical security can be a concern as losing a house is often an emotional affair, and some auction investors have had to face assault by the previous owner during attempts at due diligence at the property site.One notorious investor I'm aware of quotes Sun Tzu with "Victorious warriors win first, and then go to war, while defeated warriors go to war first and then seek to win." 

My daughter managed to put together the highly sought after Boardwalk - Park Place monopoly and ultimately rode it to a convincing victory.
