There is a tiny playground.  

I think if anyone attended just one tax lien auction anywhere in this tiny state, they would see that picking up ANYTHING in NJ real estate, especially a lax lien cert., for pennies on the dollar just aint happening.

They think about saving $100 a month and getting a tiny amount of interest on it and decide, I'd rather have some new clothes.

I really need to grasp this (which was a tiny thought until it was brought to my attention in earlier comments)..

These houses also gave off a tiny bit of cash flow or broke even after all my "conservative" numbers. 

Makes me not fret about the seemingly big problems on the literally tiny deals in working on right now.

I would consider $3k a bare bones, I-better-have-a-lot-of-reserves income, and I don't have any car payments, credit card debt, student loans, a tiny mortgage on my primary, live in a low-tax area, no kids in the house.

As a side note, when I sell off REO and a cash offer comes in with a tiny escrow, that is the first think I mark up to see if they are just pulling my leg and don't have the cash.

Already have worked on drywall and just tearing off some of that old wooden siding panels and painting.

Use either a putty knife or a wooden craft stick to spread the putty across the scrape or scratch.
