There's plenty to absorb here.

I still can't absorb that it is worth 2 mil today.   

I'm really absorbing as much info as possible, and this thread has been intriguing. 

Some title agencies will happily do this for you for a nominal fee (I usually pay between $75 and $150 depending on my urgency).Having a full title search prior to bidding gives you a HUGE advantage.As for everything else, if a lien is on the property, you are likely to absorb it.

The state will just "create" more jobs and defined public employee pension benefits to absorb that gain while structurally increasing their expenditures permanently

I've been trying to absorb as much knowledge as you guys put out there.

I would not evict if he were unemployed because I can absorb the loss and would not evict a tenant due to a COVID related issue.

My thought process is evolving daily as I read and absorb new information. 

And many smaller contractors cannot afford to absorb even a single bad project.
