Bloomberg published this article today to summarize a Redfin report that one third of home buyers in the U.S. are bidding on houses sight unseen:https://www.bloomberg.com/news/articles/2018-02-26...Most if not all of this activity occurs in hot markets.

It is so hard to find the delinquint tax deeds published online.  

I was simply saying that you can completely different answers to the questions and the "happiest cities" had nothing to do with another list published as "best places to live."  

So it may be wise for you to get yourself educated for a bit first and put the money into a low-risk liquidatable investment or savings account for now.Lastly, I swear BP isn’t paying me to promote this book, but I did recently buy and listen to the Audible version of the BP Publishing book by David Greene, Long-Distance Real Estate Investing: How to Buy, Rehab, and Manage Out-of-State Rental Properties, which you can find on the BP Store or Amazon.

@Joshua Dorkin, @Brandon Turner, @Dave Van Horn, @Mindy Jensen,  and whoever else at BP is involved in publishing -- Amazon.com offers a fantastic service called WhisperSync that coordinates the Kindle ebook with the Audible audio edition of the same book. 

Second, Urban Land Institute publishes a number of books that go into various aspects of development. 

The county I used to live in in Southern Maryland publishes all properties that have been reported for some type of issue (ex: overgrown grass, trash in the yard, hanging gutters, etc...). 

You might want to consider writing up a first chapter and shopping it around to see if you can find some interest from publishers.

I recently published a blog on exactly that topic.

If this is a wrong group, please suggest where to publish this question.Thank you.
