If I were to save to 800K, the odds are I would never be able to accumulate that much money without debt.This is my personal view.  

And you cannot just step in and resume making payments, but rather would need to pay the entire amount off plus accumulated interest and other fees. 

sounds like a business to get into while trying to accumulate cash for flips!

The process was already slow in the county, with the backlog accumulated how many months will it take now?

I should note we have no money saved or put aside for me to get started here and I’m not likely to have the means to accumulate a solid chunk of change in the very near future.

The single most powerful way to accumulate (and keep wealth) through real estate is to purchase it in your ROTH IRA account. 

So by 2010 you could possibly have an accumulated total of roughly 50,000 - 60,000 extra supply of residential units!

For example lets say the property I bought went to the auction on September and I bought it 3 months later on December, would I have the pay the taxes that accumulated over those 3 months while it was on the strike off list plus the minimum bid?

I'm more of a hands on worker and I spend most of my time working, trying to accumulate as much investment money that I can.

Also worth further mentioning, is unspoken in all of this is that I have accumulated equity in my portfolio via debt pay down (most of my loans are 20 year vs 30) and value appreciation (and forced appreciation through the rehabbing / fix up).
