Quote from @Chris Seveney: For those experienced in private lending: This question was posed to me in my membership group from an investor:What strategies have been most effective for scaling your loan volume to $5M+ per month?

A less then full investigation may result in one thinking that the house and or the house and tennis court lots were what was being sold.As I later found out, a newbie tax lien investor thought they were getting a great bargain by outbidding other misinformed investors and paying the back taxes, legal fees, and an additional $34,000 (overage) which the county forwarded to me.  

Quote from @James Zobrisky: What is everyone's best advice for where to store your cash flow.

Well that's what you did, you announced your "hungry" and "who's got something good to eat for me to buy"Having commanding market intelligence is absolutely necessary.
