I have educated myself quite well on the subject of Tax Deed Sales, and now I'm tired of standing by and seeing these amazing deals slip right between my fingers because I didn't have the cash to purchase the property myself.

:PSeriously though, a knowledgeable agent who understands the market thoroughly, has their finger on the pulse of what's happening in your community, and takes their job seriously will help a TON of people and be an asset to the community.

However, I take your cautionary notes to heart (& cross my fingers this first project will make me money).

Who do you point the finger at, the starving dog or the person with the steak.

Many agents may have taken the listing and done nothing but cross their fingers.

Too many fingers in the pie to actually reach them.

For years, I'd flip open that book, put one finger on the principle amount and another on the interest rate and find the payment for P&I.The quickest way *now* is to buy a cheapy business calculator and learn to plug in the numbers.

Who think the majority of the population is too busy pointing fingers and playing the victim card to make a difference?

From what I understand from the realtor is that they will have the title search run for us before closing so we should know if there are any surprises (crossing fingers).

There are groups all across the world who's main focus is killing you, and for some reason, the worst guy you can point your finger to is Bush.
