For example in Florida, generally,  a tax deed wipes out all non-governmental encumbrances, but still requires a quiet title action before a title is "clean."

I would love to hear other investors opinion in regards to at what point they would stop looking at real estate so intently and go back to putting money in IRAs or something less time consuming.

One word of advice is to take action, many folks investigate, review, analyze, etc...for a long time, I would recommend - go look at 50 properties, find a broker/agent that will open the doors for you to view them, analyze each property financially before you go in, knowing the numbers prior, then adjust your numbers.  

More actionable advice would be to set up an online paying system.  

Btw, look at their consumer affair report to make a point :) https://www.consumeraffairs.com/finance/cenlar-central-loan-administration.html

My investment niche: buy and hold, duplex to fourplex.I am ready to take actions with the right property(s), and eventually, I would also like to get to know: Real Estate Attorneys, CPAs, Inspectors, and Property Managers.Could you point me to the right direction?

I'd ask your broker on what they would want you to do as they will ultimately be responsible for your actions.

I'm trying to get as much hands-on learning as possible, even if not *real* action on *real* deals, to try and make that leap next year to get the ball rolling.Best of luck, Nieka!

I did lots of research before I actually went out and took action.

However, I'm still confused and unconfident.Real estate is completely new to me and at this moment I'm still training my brain to think like a professional investor before I take my first step of doing some small professional deals in action, although I've done some RE investments personally and I've been told by many people, "just take actions first and learn from mistakes."
