Hey Frank,This is a loaded question because it really depends on what you and your wife are seeking at this time?

Reduce your debt load or sock away the savings into reserves.Better to own your best 6 to 8 places then 12 that are not performing at the level you want

@Neil SmithPull a list from the auditor of what you're looking to call, load it into a dialer, call the numbers and ask to speak with the owner (their first name) - Introduce yourself by being personable (Who you are(first and last name - age/background), where you're from(local guy), and get straight to the point - why you want to buy and if they're interested in hearing an offer on their property - it's like a quick handshake over the phone. 

After one load truck, one of the guy in the front house accused her of stealing his stuff. 

I would suggest hiring a property manager not only because of the work load but because they will have everything in place.

I have had the cesspit load tested and visually inspected and it passed both tests.

After buying and selling over 1,000 properties for my own inventory, its time to do less work and let others carry the load. 

If the tax certificate holder's heirs are outside of the statue of limitations, which I'm assuming they are because they never took possession of the property, that's a big load off of me.

Depending on capacity with work and kids, you could consider a high yield side hustle to create additional income that is devoted to early retirement of debt or funds set aside to purchase additional properties.3.

Now the driveway and parking lot were already there so no cost for build out and we could use one more load of the gravel come spring so probably another $500.
